Akshay Kumar is known for his witty responses and quirky sense of humor and recently the audience in Dubai got to witness it first hand during the press conference for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. At the event held on Tuesday, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff apologized to the media and fans for being late by 15 minutes. When he was asked why he was late, the actor indulged in some leg pulling as he answered.

Responding to the person, Akshay said, “We are not late, we are just 16 minutes late, actually we were on time, but we were waiting outside for the heroines to come. You know ladies some time take time…” Akshay further went on to speak in Punjabi and said, “Te Paaji, thoda jeya sabr rakho taude ghar vi votti hone hai aur oh bhi time lendi hai, kadi oh time te tyaar hundi hai (Paaji have some patience, even you have a wife back home who takes time to get ready, has it ever happened that she has gotten ready before time)?”

While this conversation left the crowd laughing and cheering for Akshay, the actor even spoke about visiting the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Dubai. He shared he had promised co-star Tiger Shroff that they would visit there, hence they arrived a day earlier.

Akshay further continued with his funny streak when he said despite shooting in leather in a lot of heat for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, he has no complaints. “It was quite hot and we were given leather jackets to wear but we did not have any issues since we were paid a handsome amount,” Akshay joked.

Later at the press conference Akshay also shared, “I have been in this industry for the last 33 years and have done many action films, but I can easily say that this is the finest product I have worked in. It is the finest action film India has ever produced.” Sharing that the film also has around 25 to 30 percent comedy in the film, however, it is the very subtle kind with banter between him and Tiger.

 

Akshay also praised Prithviraj Sukumaran, he called him brilliant. “He said I have worked with him and many people, I have never seen anybody have such a great memory to learn all these lines. Tiger and I would wait for him to make at least one mistake, but I don’t know what he eats, how much coconut oil he has, but what a memory.”
