Statham inspired Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar to share an Instagram video of him performing the stunt. "I couldn't resist Bottle Cap challenge. I couldn't resist. Inspired by my action idol Jason Statham. I will repost/retweet the best I see, come on guys and girls get your bottle out and your legs in the air, let's do this," Kumar captioned the video.
American DJ Diplo also took the challenge. "Since no one requested me to do this and also since no one thinks I'm good at anything except pushing button on stage... Here is evidence that I also do karate," Diplo wrote alongside his video of performing the challenge.
Diplo also challenged The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Former US President Barack Obama to take up the challenge.
