Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar took to social media on Wednesday to share a touching memory from the sets of his upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. The actor posted a picture from the film’s shoot featuring the late veteran comedian Asrani ji, describing it as far more than just a photograph — a complete journey captured in one frame.
In his emotional note, Akshay wrote:
“Kabhi kabhi ek tasveer sirf yaadon ka tukda nahi hoti… ek poori journey ko samet leti hai Yeh picture humari Bhooth Bangla ki shoot se hai…Asrani ji ke saath meri second last film. Total 12 films humne saath ki, aur har ek mein maine unse kuch naya seekha.. it was like a masterclass every single time. Comedy itni aasaan lagti thi jab woh karte the, lekin asal mein woh ek mushkil kala hai. Asrani ji uske ustad the aur hamesha rahenge. Bhooth Bangla kal release ho rahi hai… mere liye yeh sirf ek film nahi, ek yaad hai… ek tribute hai… ek salute hai uss legend ko Asrani ji, aap hamesha yaad aayenge”
