Angry Akshaye Khanna ‘Unleashed Volcano’ On A Producer

In an interview with Siddharth Kana, Amit Behl recalled how during a movie’s shoot, a character actor was staying a different hotel arrived at the hotel Akshaye was staying for lunch, “The moment this actor had his first bite at the hotel’s lunch buffet, the producer’s wife or some relative noticed that he didn’t belong there and said he shouldn’t be eating that food. Just as he had begun, someone from production came over and said, ‘Sir, you can’t eat this.’ He was hurt and quietly kept the plate aside and sat by himself.”

He further revealed that Akshaye was watching this from a distance and immediately intervened, losing his cool, “Akshaye, who usually speaks very little, gave a speech about what hunger truly means and what respect truly means. That day, I realised how intense and thoughtful he is towards his fellow artists.”

He continued stating that Akshaye Khanna scolded everyone involved including producer and crew members, “He said, ‘A film doesn’t get made by the number of plates or how much food you have; it is made by the blessings of people.’ It really looked like a man who hardly speaks had finally unleashed the volcano within him.”
