The filmmaker said, “A lot of people told me that he will come exactly on time, and if the shoot doesn’t get over on time, then your scene won’t happen; he will only give these many takes, and won’t work on Sundays. All his sequences were outdoors, like on a railway station and police station. Now, all these locations we got on to shoot on Sundays only. So, I told him that we are getting Sunday only to shoot it and it’s a long scene so I won’t be able to leave you at 6 pm, and plus it’s a night scene where you have to take the bath, and we are getting station just for one day. So, he said okay, I will do it.”
“No one can beat him in time management. We have always heard that time is very important, and I got to see an example of it. When I started working with him I learnt that in life discipline is very important. I decided to change the school of my kids. From a normal school, I admitted them to a military school. I told Akshay sir about it, and he asked me why, so I told him that I feel my kids should know discipline,” he added.
