Filmmaker Anees Bazmee, known for hits like ‘Singh Is Kinng’, ‘No Entry’, ‘Welcome’, and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, has been sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his films.
In a recent interview, he highlighted the stark contrast between working with Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, praising Akshay for being "exceptionally punctual" and always showing up exactly on time if he promises a 7 am start.
Bazmee acknowledged that Akshay's punctuality means the team has to wake up early and put in extra effort. Akshay, who often mentions his preference for starting work at dawn to finish early, sets a demanding pace.
In contrast, Bazmee shared that Salman Khan prefers a later start, typically arriving around 1 pm, having lunch, and staying until the end of the day. Bazmee, who trained under Raj Kapoor and is accustomed to working late into the night, actually prefers when the workday begins around 2 pm, making Salman’s schedule more comfortable for him.
Anees Bazmee shared that despite Akshay and Salman's different routines, he enjoys working with both equally.
He appreciates that each actor has their own unique style, making it fun to adapt to their schedules. Bazmee has collaborated with Salman on films like ‘No Entry’ and ‘Ready’, while his projects with Akshay include ‘Welcome’, ‘Singh Is Kinng’, and ‘Thank You’.
