In an interview, Akshay discussed the obstacles he had throughout the film’s development. According to Indian media sources, he explicitly cited filmmaker Priyadarshan’s preference for long takes as a major impediment. Akshay Kumar remarked,
“I was often out of breath during the shoots; it felt like performing in a theatre production.”
The actor portrayed three different roles, each of which required unique facial expressions and timing, adding to the complexity of his performance.
The director’s strategy of capturing many character interactions in a single take made the task even more difficult. Akshay stated that some takes lasted up to ten minutes, making them more demanding than standard action or dancing scenes.
‘Garam Masala’ revolves around Akshay’s character, ‘Mac’, who juggles relationships with numerous women at once, only to be found by his friend ‘Sam’ (played by John Abraham). The film also stars
- Paresh Rawal
- Rimi Sen
- Neha Dhupia
- Rajpal Yadav
Akshay Kumar is now in quarantine at home after testing positive for COVID-19. He is according to medical procedures to ensure a rapid recovery.
Akshay’s career has continued to prosper despite the obstacles he experienced in ‘Garam Masala’. He has had hits in a variety of genres, including romantic dramas like ‘Namastey London’, action pictures like ‘Airlift’, and comedies like the ‘Housefull’ franchise. His contributions to Indian cinema have earned him various awards, including the Padma Shri, India’s fourth-highest civilian honour.
In his fifties, Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood’s most dependable actors, noted for his constant box office success. His strict lifestyle, commitment to fitness, and willingness to take on difficult roles have cemented his place as one of the best actors of his time.
