Akshay Kumar and Nana Patekar in a spat! Real or staged?

You see, the thing with actors is that it can sometimes be difficult to figure out when they are acting and when they are being real.

The film industry is abuzz about a ‘spat’ or ‘showdown’ between Akshay Kumar and Nana Patekar on the sets of Firoz Nadiadwala’s movie Welcome , which is being directed by Anees Bazmee . Now, the spat could be real or staged depending on which side of the story you choose to believe.

The incident happened last Friday at a Mumbai studio where a song sequence was being shot on Akshay and Nana. The last portions of the song were supposed to show some pushing and pulling between the two actors. But to those around, it appeared that Akshay and Nana engaged in a real scuffle.

A heated argument followed in which rude words were exchanged between the two actors. And just when it appeared that Nana and Akki were about to come to blows, the director, Anees Bazmee, called for a break.

To the eyewitnesses on the sets, and even to the junior artists dancing in the song, it appeared that Nana and Akshay fought for real. But Anees Bazmee claims otherwise.

Anees says the fight between Akki and Nana was pre-meditated and staged. Only the two actors and Anees and his assistants knew about it.

Anees says the reason why he did so was to get natural reactions and expressions from all the other artists, who eventually thought that the fight was real and were shocked to see Akki and Nana in a showdown.

The truth is Nana is known to be very co-operative and cordial with his co-stars. Although Akshay has had some bad reputation of interfering in the process of moviemaking, he has been keeping such tendencies reined for quite some time.

Though the eyewitnesses and junior artists find it difficult to believe that the showdown was staged, Bazmee says Akki and Nana do get along very fine while working together and there are no negative vibes between the two.
