Akshay Kumar, who is currently busy with the promotions of Khel Khel Mein, recently had an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla and the ensemble cast of his next film. During our gameplay segment, the actor recalled the iconic car scene from his 2006 hit Bhagam Bhag. While mentioning the same, Akshay also remembered the late Neeraj Vora, who wrote the screenplay and dialogues for this Priyadarshan-directed opus.
“Neeraj Vora, who is no more with us… a brilliant writer… I learnt a lot from him. I learnt a lot from him, especially in comedy. It feels like I shot that scene just a few days ago, even though it was 17 years ago. Bhagam Bhag itself is a very funny film. It was so nice to act with Govinda after a long time,” Akshay Kumar told us.
Produced by Suniel Shetty and Dhilin Mehta, Bhagam Bhag was a rollercoaster comedy that also starred Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Razak Khan, Sharat Saxena and Asrani, among others. Although the film received mixed reviews, it was ultimately a commercial success and gained a cult following over the years.
