Akshay Kumar may not be the biggest Bollywood actor In comparison to the Khans and bachhans , but the action star is a huge fan of Indian cinema ever since he was just a nondescript person, working as a cook in Bangkok.“Akshay has been collecting these posters for years and has built himself a sizeable collection. In ‘Action Replay’, Akshay plays the owner of a coffee house and when the set was being planned, director Vipul Shah mentioned that he wanted it to be a Bollywood themed café. They were searching for suitable posters but were getting only cheesy ones from the market.”
“That’s when Akshay Kumar revealed that he had many good posters in his personal collection but was in two minds about bringing them out of his house because he was afraid they would get damaged or lost. When Vipul took personal responsibility for them and assured Akshay that he would make sure each and every one of them was handed back after the shoot, Akshay took him home and let him choose from his collection. Vipul then handpicked some posters,” said the source.
When enquired the director, Vipul Shah said, “We were not getting good posters and the problem kept cropping up in production meetings. We had absolutely no clue that Akshay had such a collection — it was a pleasant surprise.”
