Akshay Kumar opened up about shooting for Bachchhan Paandey and revealed what the most difficult part of the shoot was. Talking to the media, Akshay said that he had to shoot with a large lens, since his character has a stone eye, and his vision would become blurry.
India Today quoted Akshay as saying, “Wearing the lens and then removing it was extremely difficult. Jaan nikal jaati thi because I could not fix it in my eye myself. It was a very big lens. I would see everything blurry and that’s how I used to shoot. I would just see that there is a figure in front of me.”
Akshay also talked about how much time it took to complete the look, “The first day it took about 15 minutes, but later it used to take me hardly 2-3 minutes. We decided on my look by doing a lot of photoshoots for three days and that’s when we zeroed in on this one.”
