Akshay Kumar says the lens he wore for Bachchhan Paandey made his vision blurry

Actor Akshay Kumar has uncovered the tough part of shooting for his recently released movie, Bachchhan Paandey. In a media interaction, he said that the lens he had to wear in the movie, to complete his character, made his vision blurry. He said that he shot for the movie with just the silhouette visible in front of him.

Talking to the media, Akshay said, as quoted by India Today, “Wearing the lens and then removing it was extremely difficult. Jaan nikal jaati thi (It was extremely painful) because I could not fix it in my eye myself. It was a very big lens. I would see everything blurry and that’s how I used to shoot. I would just see that there is a figure in front of me.”

When asked how long it took him to set himself up for the look, Akshay said, “The first day it took about 15 minutes, but later it used to take me hardly 2-3 minutes. We decided on my look by doing a lot of photoshoots for three days and that’s when we zeroed in on this one.”
