Akshay Kumar is no stranger to shooting on the streets of Mumbai, and this time around, we spotted the actor on Sunday evening at Horniman Circle. Alternately sporting a grey and yellowish green shirt, the actor breezed through the Fort area even as a special song from
OMG – Oh My Godplayed in the background.
While
Himesh Reshammiya, who is the co-producer of
Khiladi 786 along with Akshay, has composed
Oh My God’s music, the Meet Brothers were specially summoned for this particular track, revealed a source close to the project.
And only after Akshay had okayed the tune, permissions were taken to shoot in SoBo. Moving from Horniman Circle to the street outside Asiatic Library to Chowpatty, the unit took one whole day to complete the song. And in between shots, the
Khiladi, far from cooling his heels in his vanity van, chose to play some
galli cricket with the youngsters who had gathered around.
In
Oh My God, which is a screen adaptation of Umesh Shukla's Gujarati play
Kanji Virudhh Kanji, which has also been remade in Hindi as
Krishna vs Kanhaiya, Akshay plays a modern-day Lord Krishna. The film is a joint venture between Akshay Kumar and Ashwini Yardi's Grazing Goat Productions.
