When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Akshay Kumar has turned saviour for the producers of Bellbottom. Currently being shot in Scotland, Akshay has managed to introduce his strict discipline and work culture to the large unit of Bellbottom.
The makers of the film flew a massive large cast and crew in a chartered plane to Scotland. They were all in quarantine for 14 days due to Coronavirus and lost time due to that. Akshay realised the financial hit the producers would have to take given the huge size of the unit. That's when he decided to break his cardinal rule of working 8 hours a day after 18 years. The actor managed to surprise everyone by recommending a double shift two simultaneous units shooting to ensure that the shoot goes on the fast track and save the producers their money. In this way, they are maximizing every day.
Producer Jackky Bhagnani says "Akshay sir is truly a producer's actor and it has been a privilege to work with him. He is constantly thinking about everyone and everything. From safety measures for the entire unit to shooting schedules to the challenges faced by producers the man is pure gold. Akshay sir is doing a double shift for the first time in 18 years. So when he suggested two units we were absolutely stunned and excited at the same time. And seeing his work discipline and respect for time, everyone on the sets is super energized and also pitching in their best. It's like well-oiled machinery working round the clock to make this happen."
Looking at the excitement on the sets, an insider jokingly quipped that given the pace and dedication of the entire unit don't be surprised if Bellbottom lands with a sequel as well.
