The fact that Akshay Kumar has consistently managed to do three-four films every year has been one of the highlights of his career. It has made him stand out from most of the other stars. It is practically impossible for anyone to work at this rate unless there is a focus on discipline and professionalism, something that ‘Khiladi Kumar’ has always been known for. However, the actor showcased such professionalism on the sets of his latest Good Newwz that even his director Raj Mehta was left amazed. The 52-year-old was unwell during the shoot of the song Chandigarh Mein, however, he completed the shoot without any hassles.
