Akshay Kumar, who is currently busy promoting Khel Khel Mein, recently got together with the cast of his next film for an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla. During our game segment, the actor recalled the famous car scene from his 2006 hit film Bhagam Bhag. Recalling the scene, Akshay also remembered the late Neeraj Vora, who wrote the screenplay and dialogues for the Priyadarshan-directed film.
Akshay Kumar said, “Neeraj Vora, who is no more with us… was a brilliant writer… I learned a lot from him. Especially in comedy, I learned a lot from him. It feels like I shot that scene just a few days ago, whereas it has been 17 years. Bhagam Bhag is a very funny film in itself. It was great to work with Govinda after a long time.”
Produced by Suniel Shetty and Dhillon Mehta, Bhagam Bhag was a rollercoaster comedy that also featured Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Razak Khan, Sharat Saxena and Asrani. Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was ultimately a commercial success and, over the years, has gained cult status.
