Akshay Kumar says 'Jaan nikal jati thi' on shooting with lens for Bachchhan Paandey

Since Sajid Nadiadwala’s Bachchhan Paandey, released everyone has been talking about Akshay Kumar's evil character in 'Bachchhan Paandey,' especially the one stone-eye look. The film is already garnering positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike. Surprisingly, the Sooryavanshi actor found this to be the most difficult portion of the shoot. It was a challenge to put on and take off the unique lens every day for the shoot.

Akshay had told the reporters in Delhi about the difficulties he had with the lens. He said,

"Wearing the lens and then removing it was incredibly difficult. Because I couldn't correct it in my own eye, I used the phrase "jaan nikal jaati thi." It was a massive lens. Everything was hazy to me, therefore that's how I used to shoot."

He further continued saying, 

"I'd simply notice the presence of a figure in front of me. It took me approximately 15 minutes the first day, but it only took me about 2-3 minutes after that. We decided on my appearance after three days of photoshoots, and that's when we settled on this one."

'Bachchhan Paandey,' directed by Farhan Samji, is a remake of the Tamil film 'Jigarthanda' (2014). In this movie, Akshay plays a gangster alongside Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pankaj Tripathi, Prateik Babbar, and Sanjay Mishra, among others. 

The film 'Bachchhan Paandey' released on the occasion of Holi. 'Bachchhan Paandey' has grossed roughly Rs 34 crore in its first weekend at the box office. 'The Kashmir Files' is a strong competitor for the action-comedy.
