The actor, who's known never to cancel a shoot, did it recently. And it was his own production!If there's something Akshay Kumar hates doing, it is cancelling a shoot. The actor has a reputation with producers as being a no-hassles actor and for shooting despite injuries or ailments. Recently, a very bad sprain in his back forced him to cancel the shoot for his own production, Patiala House.
Akki has been shooting non-stop for the Nikhil Advani film at Mehboob Studios. During an action scene, he strained his back, which caused him immense pain. A source reveals, "Since he performs stunts on his own, it takes a greater toll on the back.
And he's had a back problem for a really long time. The pain wasn't getting any lesser. Akshay decided to call it a wrap and rest for the day. The doctor advised the actor physiotherapy and adequate rest."
Being the film's producer was also a reason why he didn't hesitate in taking the break. "No-one else lost money by his cancelling the shoot, so Akshay didn't think twice. He's had a record of working in the industry without ever cancelling a shoot, only because he doesn't like the producer to suffer losses at his expense."
Confirms Nikhil Advani says, "Yes, Akshay hurt his back while shooting. His back got strained earlier in the day during his exercises, but after the shoot, it got further aggravated."
However, the rest worked wonders for Akki who was seen at the Mumbai Marathon yesterday supporting a cause and cheering the participating.
"It was a prior commitment and Akshay had given his word he would attend," adds the source.
