When Akshay Kumar showed his raunchy side

There is a shot in the soon-to-be-released Tashan in which Akshay Kumar unleashes his raunchy side.

The movie has Akshay playing a countryside goon named Bachchan Pande, who is skilled at recovering anything from a cow to a bungalow from defaulters. He is a typical desi guy who speaks in a rustic accent and has the mannerisms of an uncouth man.

While shooting the song ‘Dil Dance’ for the film in Ladakh, choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and director Vijay Krishna Acharya wanted Akshay to do a vulgar gesture. The actor was required to grab his crotch for a shot.

Understanding well that the gesture went with the mannerisms of his character, Akshay agreed to do it. And he did it so convincingly that the unit was left asking for more.

Reports have it that the shooting unit was so amused by Akshay’s shot that they told him that he needed to give a retake. This way a couple of retakes followed and Akshay was made to grab his crotch again and again until he realized that he had become the butt of everyone’s joke.

The shot came out so well that it has been kept in the film’s promos.

A Yashraj Films presentation, ‘Tashan’ tells the story of four unique people on a fateful journey that alters the course of their lives. Besides Akshay, the film stars Saif Ali Khan , Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor .
