Akshay Kumar, who reunites with Kareena Kapoor in the movie, told news agency IANS that he's "overwhelmed" with viewers' response. "We are extremely overwhelmed with the response coming in for Good Newwz as it's a subject which had to be shared with the audience. It's an important subject and I thank the viewers not only in India but also overseas that they have accepted us with open hearts. With this film, I am confident that a movie with good messaging and subject will always fetch success and appreciation," Akshay said.
