Reminiscing about the resemblance Akshay Kumar had with his cousin, Suniel shared, “When I saw Akshay, for a second, I felt that he had the exact same body language, clean shaved look, good-looking boy, and tall. The first thing I said to Akshay was that you remind me of my brother I have lost in an accident.”

The actor added, “I also told him that it’s scary that I have to sit down and work with you every day because whenever I will see you, I’ll miss him. And, that’s exactly what happened. When we got a long night, he lightened the vibe. Akshay se bada masti khor koi nahi hai iss duniya mein.”
