Akshay Kumar starrer 'Sarfira', directed by Sudha Kongara hit the theatres today, Friday, July 12. It is the Hindi remake of the Suriya starrer Tamil film 'Soorarai Pottru' (2020), helmed by the same director. In an interview, Akshay revealed that it took them time to form a bond with each other.

In an interview with Galatta Plus, when Akshay Kumar was asked about the first day of the shoot of 'Sarfira', he said, 바카라The first day of shoot바카라 It always takes time for the actor to blend with the director. I have to learn their way of working. It took a little time on Sarfira, maybe five or six days. And then, after that, it was very smooth sailing.바카라

He further said, 바카라Sudha is a director who sets up her camera and tells the actor what they need to do. But there are many directors who ask, 바카라You tell me what you바카라re going to do, and I바카라ll move the camera accordingly. Sudha was telling me what I have to do, not the other way around.바카라

Earlier, in an interview with the same portal, Sudha revealed that she and Akshay took time to get along initially. She said, 바카라Suriya is Suriya. I have known him for over 25 years, and it바카라s much easier to tell him what I want. It바카라s very friendly and casual. But with Akshay sir, it바카라s 바카라sir바카라 first of all, and I was meeting this gentleman for the first time. Since I have no filters, it was almost similar. The first six days, he wasn바카라t happy. He was like, 바카라What is this girl making me do all this rubbish?바카라 So then he and the producer spoke to me, and I said, 바카라You do whatever you like to do, and I will tell you when it isn바카라t going right,'''.

Sudha said she had to let go because she had created the perfect Maara (role of Suriya in Soorarai Potru) in her head, and thought there could be nobody better than Suriya. She admitted of realising that she was suffocating Akshay who had his own method.
