Throwback: When Shah Rukh Khan declined to work with Akshay Kumar

No doubt Shah Rukh Khan is hailed as the ‘Badshah of the industry’ . The actor is known to share warm bond with his co-stars, colleagues, and others, and never misses a chance to treat them with respect.

Time and again, the Jawan actor has been sharing some interesting anecdotes from the sets of the films he has worked on.

There was a time when he refused to share screen space with Akshay Kumar.

In 2019, in the midst of his interview with a leading portal, when the Pathaan actor was quizzed of doing more films with Akshay Kumar, he categorically refused saying that he wouldn’t wake up as early as him. While they have never done a full-fledged film together, they have appeared in cameo appearances in each others’ films like Heyy Babyy and Dil Toh Pagal Hai.

Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t wake up as early as Akshay. He goes to sleep when Akshay is waking up. His day starts early. By the time he starts working, Akshay is packing up and going home.

It is quite known that Akshay Kumar follows a very strict early to bed, early to rise – routine, which he often talks about. Time and again, we have seen his co-stars also talking about his habit of arriving on the sets early and leaving even before others are done.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, which is slated to hit the big screens on Christmas 2023. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar has an interesting line-up of films, including Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, Soorarai Pottru Remake, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sky Force, and Shankara.
