Akshay Kumar is known for pushing himself and taking things a step ahead of the limit. Breaking all conventionalities, the actor took things up a notch when he shot a sequence with a real King of the Jungle. The daredevil actor who plays a security guard at a zoo in the film said he loved shooting with Mufasa. “We shot in Cape Town and it was a lovely experience working there,” Akshay said. “I sat with the lion and was shit-scared! Actually, in the middle of a shot, the lion got angry and broke some glass. Because he saw his own reflection and thought it was another lion.”
“The whole scene is shot in a car. He's sitting next to me. Next to me,” he said. When asked about his trainer he said, “He was far away. I said what will happen, can you save me? And he said there's not time, if he decides... but don't worry he's in a good mood today. We have fed him properly.”
Ashvini Yardi, the producer of the movie tweeted the pictures of a rather cuddly looking Mufasa with our 'Khiladi 786' with a caption that read “The Lion & the King-pic shoot of Mufasa wid Raftaar -Cape Town.. Thankfully v got our Raftaar back in 1piece.”
