Rohit Shetty recalls playing Akshay Kumars body double

Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Rohit Shetty are celebrating the huge box office success of their recenty released cop flick 'Sooryavanshi'. This was the first instance of Akshay Kumar starring in a Rohit Shetty film although it certainly won't be the last since 'Sooryavanshi' is a part of the cop universe. However, this isn't the first time that Akshay has worked with Rohit. Their first team up dates back 27 years ago when Rohit played Akshay's body double in the film 'Suhaag'.

During a recent conversation with India Today, Rohit recalled teaming up with Akshay for the first time. He said, "I know him from the last 27 years. Sooryavanshi released on November 5, and on November 4, 27 years ago, a film released called Suhaag with Ajay and Akshay in it. I was the assistant director in that film. I also played his (Akshay's) duplicate in that film. So for me, to team up with him in Sooryavanshi, is like a dream come true."

In the same conversation, Rohit talked about the Akshay's qualities that he admires. He said, "With him, it is the maturity to deal with people. He doesn’t lose his temper. He lets go off a lot of things. And the kind of discipline he has! He is 53 years old, and he is still doing action at this age with that kind of fitness. For the Akshay Kumar fans, we wanted to bring that action. If you see, there is hand fight but we have used the sidekick which he is popular for. We also used the hanging from a chopper which he is also popular for. His discipline is what I have learned from him.
