For
a
highlight
sequence
in
Sajid
Khan
directed
Housefull,
Akshay
Kumar
gets
all
troubled
due
to
a
monkey
which
snatches
Deepika's
mobile
and
runs
away.
This
is
the
same
monkey
which
has
worked
in
a
mega
blockbuster
like
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
and
hence
came
with
it's
own
tantrums
on
the
sets
of
it's
first
Bollywood
outing.
Though
one
can't
say
much
about
how
much
learning
did
the
monkey
gather
from
working
in
a
setup
like
Housefull,
for
the
likes
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
Deepika
Padukone,
it
turned
out
to
be
quite
a
handful.
Apparently,
when
everything
was
locked
and
sealed
for
the
shooting
of
the
film
and
the
schedules
were
finalised,
there
were
some
date
problems
that
emerged
at
the
last
moment.
No,
not
from
the
human
cast
of
the
film
but,
as
you
guessed
it
right,
the
monkey.
"Can
you
beat
that",
questions
Sajid
in
an
animated
tone,
"Hamaara
overseas
schedule
tha.
Din
ke
lakhon
paise
de
rahe
they,
and
there
was
this
monkey
holding
us
to
ransom.
We
were
in
London
at
that
time
and
were
all
set
to
fly
to
Italy
and
shoot
some
more
scenes
there,
inculding
the
one
featuring
the
monkey.
However,
our
star-monkey
requested
a
change
in
his
date
diary.
He
was
busy
and
couldn't
travel
to
Italy.
Accordingly
my
dear
friends
like
Akshay
and
Deepika
had
to
readjust
their
diaries
for
a
day.
So
sweet
of
them.
We
stayed
in
London
for
an
additional
day
and
did
a
cheat
shoot
with
the
monkey
while
presenting
the
location
as
some
place
in
Italy."
The
requirement
of
the
scene
was
to
have
Akshay
get
all
beaten
up
by
the
monkey;
so
much
so
that
there
were
multiple
slaps
that
he
ended
up
receiving
with
tell
tale
marks
all
over
his
face.
Laughs
Sajid,
"While
Akshay
was
sport
enough
to
live
with
the
on-screen
humiliation,
all
for
the
sake
of
his
audience
and
the
fun
that
the
sequence
promised,
it
seemed
that
the
monkey
had
other
ideas.
He
wanted
to
give
that
'perfect
take'
and
for
that
he
went
through
multiple
rehearsals
before
facing
the
camera."
