‘Time is money’ indeed, and Superstar Akshay Kumar takes it quite seriously, being freakishly punctual on sets.
He is extremely disciplined and boasts of excellent time-management skills. So, when early bird Akshay and night owl SRK are paired together in a film…
….hilarity is bound to ensue. And our Badshah of Bollywood had AN EPIC reply as to why his working with Akshay, just won’t work!
In an old interview with DNA, Shah Rukh Khan was asked if he could ‘manage’ to do three films or more a year like Akshay. He was also asked whether he would like to collab with Khiladi Kumar.
SRK laughed at this and had a tongue-in-cheek reply – “What do I say to this? I don’t wake up as early as him.”
Explaining himself, he had further continued, “I go to sleep when Akshay is waking up. His day starts early. By the time I start working, he is packing up and going home. So he can put in more hours of work. I’m a nocturnal person. Not many people are fond of shooting at night like me.”
If both of them ended up in a film together, SRK had a witty remark for that scenario too!
“It will be fun to act with Akshay. Dono set pe hi nahin milenge. Woh jaa raha hoga aur main aa raha hounga (laughs). (He’ll be leaving the set and I’ll be coming in). I would like to work like Akshay and with him, but our timings won’t match.”
Can’t deny, the combined star power of the two in the film would be totally LIT.
Coming to their current work front, SRK is all set to make his comeback after a 2-year hiatus with ‘Pathan’. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar was last seen in the horror-comedy Laxmii. From Bell Bottom, Prithviraj, Atrangi Re and many more, the Action Kumar’s work pipeline is packed!
