Akshay Kumar and Rana Daggubati in Baby

Film-maker Neeraj Pandey has shot his directorial venture Baby extensively in Abu Dhabi. Despite the high temperatures in the desert, the shoot went on smoothly. But there was one scene which took exceptionally long to can. Lead actor Akshay Kumar was shooting with co-star Rana Daggubati in the sand dunes but as the sand kept blowing on the camera, the actors, who are otherwise very adept at action, had to give 25 takes before the scene could finally be canned!
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Shital Bhatia, Cape of Good Films and Crouching Tiger, the film releases on January 23 2015.
