Akshay Kumar: Improved Khiladi

Filmmaker Priyadarshan is in Mumbai to promote his next film Bhagam Bhaag which releases in December. When DT caught up with him, the man who has directed Akshay Kumar ever so often, too is impressed with his progress as an actor. Priyan tells DT, “He has improved a hell of a lot. I remember when we worked together for the first time, Akshay used to take as many as 16 takes for a shot, but now, he knows exactly what the director wants and his timing and co-ordination are just so perfect.”
