Akshay Kumar is bringing the laughs with ‘Welcome To The Jungle’, and the trailer dropped on Thursday, June 11, is already generating massive excitement. At the launch event, Akshay had nothing but praise for his co-stars, particularly Raveena Tandon, whom he commended for her exceptional professionalism and dedication during tough shoots. He also recalled a memorable incident where she put aside her comfort to keep the filming on schedule.
Raveena changed in a generator van to save a sunset shot
The actor praised Raveena and shared a story from one of their film shoots. The team had only 25-30 minutes left to shoot a sunset scene. The green room was very far from the set, so Raveena decided to change her clothes inside a generator van to save time. Because of this, the shoot was completed on time without any delay. “That has been her. A lot of changes have happened; she is a brilliant actor,” added the actor.
Akshay jokes about Raveena’s journey from heroine to heroine’s mother
When asked about what has changed and what has stayed the same over the years, Akshay laughed and said that while a lot has evolved, one thing that never changed is Raveena’s professionalism. He then cracked a light-hearted joke, pointing out that she went from being the heroine on screen to being the mother of a heroine, Rasha Thadani, leaving everyone in the room laughing.
