Upen is not just a great admirer of Akshay’s physique but also his acting talent. And he gets to act alongside Akki in Vipul Shah’s in-the-making film Namaste London .
Even though Akshay still has to begin shooting for the film, Vipul Shah has been canning Upen’s portions in London. And the young man had been performing to the director’s satisfaction.
But Upen was not his usual self when Akshay walked in one day on the movie’s sets to check out his performance. As Akki stood in front of the monitor to observe his co-star, Upen got nervous and failed to deliver his dialogue correctly even after 20 retakes.
Sensing that Upen was feeling intimidated in Akshay’s presence, the director had to request Akki to leave the sets so that the shot could be canned.
Upen has already been taking fitness tips from Akshay. Now it seems he needs guidance in acting department too.
‘Namaste London’ has Akshay Kumar pairing with Katrina Kaif . The two have already acted together in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye and will also be seen in Anees Bazmee’s comedy film Welcome .
