Akshay Kumar has been directed by Ahmed Khan in his latest venture, ‘Welcome To The Jungle’. These two started their association from ‘Ye Dillagi’ and ‘Suhaag’ and then went on to collaborate on many projects.
During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Akshay Kumar recalled how they would often get into trouble while shooting songs, and once they were even chased by police from Sea Rock in Bandra.
Talking more about their early days of working together, Akshay even shared that they once used a fan’s car to shoot ‘Aflatoon’ song.
Sharing a particular incident while shooting the title track from his 1997 drama ‘Aflatoon’, Akshay told IANS, “If you watch the song Aflatoon, that car was not rented. It was just passing by. The owner of the car was a fan of mine. I asked him, ‘Can I dance on your car for five minutes?’ He said, ‘Go ahead.’ So we danced on it. Like this, in many places, we even got chased away.”
Akshay also went on to say that while working with Ahmed, they have been chased out of the places they were shooting in several times.
“We would go inside buildings and start shooting, and then the watchman would come running. That shot is actually there in the song; we have kept it—the watchman is running towards us. He came to scold us and chase us away.”
Adding to it Akshay revealed that they were even chased by police . He stated “On Sea Rock as well, the police chased us out. There are many like this. But it was great fun.”
