MUMBAI: Superstar Akshay Kumar on Tuesday said he has finished filming the Mumbai schedule of director Aanand L Rai’s upcoming feature “Raksha Bandhan”.
“Raksha Bandhan”, featuring Bhumi Pednekar as the female lead, is billed as a special tale that celebrates “relationships in the most beautiful way”.
Kumar said he had a great time working with Rai, Pednekar and other team members.
“I’m already missing walking down these streets of Chandni Chowk. Even though it was a make-believe set you made it look so real, take a bow @sumitbasu62. My wonderful co-star @bhumipednekar, thank you for providing the right balance with your splendid talent,” he posted on Twitter.
The 53-year-old actor said he has evolved into a better actor while working on “Raksha Bandhan”, his second collaboration with Rai after upcoming drama “Atrangi Re”.
“And @aanandlrai sir what can I say about you, besides that you’re a wizard and today as we wrap up the Mumbai schedule of #RakshaBandhan, I know I’m leaving the set a better actor,” he added.
