‘It pains, the smell is worse’: Choreographer recalls Akshay Kumar getting 100 eggs thrown at him during shoot, calls him ‘dedicated’ and ‘hard-working’ |
Choreographer Chinni Prakash recently praised Akshay Kumar’s unmatched discipline on set. He also recalled how the actor didn’t flinch even when over 100 eggs were thrown at him during a shoot.
Recalling the challenging shoot
In conversation with Friday Talkies, Chinni said, “Akshay is a very sincere boy, and he gives his 100 percent. In the 25–50 songs that I have shot with him, he had never asked to change any step. In one scene of Khiladi film’s song, we had 100 eggs hitting Akshay. Girls had to throw eggs on Akshay and it pains when an egg hits you, but after that, the smell is worse, it doesn’t leave you for a long time. Despite all of this, Akshay did not say a word. He is very hard-working and has no tantrums. He is very down-to-earth. I have never seen a hard-working actor than him, and he is very dedicated.”After working recently with the Khiladi star on the Housefull film series, Chinni added, “He has the same attitude even 20 years later. I recently did Housefull with him and he shows the same dedication. He can do anything for you. You tell him to jump from a 10th floor building and he will do it.”
Behind the scenes of ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast ‘
The choreographer further shared an anecdote from the shooting of the song ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’ from Mohra. “When I first heard the song, I thought it is a ghazal. It is such a slow song. Akshay said it will be a hit. We shot that song only at night because no actor had dates. I also didn’t have dates, neither did Akshay nor Raveena. We shot the song with 3 cameras in 3 nights, and everybody would perform half sleep,” he shared.Meanwhile, on the work front, Akshay was last seen in Jolly LLB 3, along with Sourabh Shukla and Arshad Warsi. The film received positive reviews from all sides. It also did a decent business at the box office.
