Akshay
Kumar
recently
surprised
good
friend
Lara
Dutta
by
shooting
for
almost
20
hours
at
a
stretch
for
her
home
production
being
shot
on
location
in
Jaipur
in
spite
of
having
work
around
the
clock.
He
saved
her
money
as
a
producer
in
the
process.
Says
a
source
close
to
the
actor,
"Lara
approached
Akshay
for
a
cameo
in
her
home
production
to
which
he
readily
agreed
the
scenes
required
three
days
from
him.
He
plays
a
cameo
role
in
the
film
as
her
husband.
However,
his
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
up
for
release
and
he
is
also
busy
shooting
for
Rohit
Dhawan's
Desi
Boyz
in
Mumbai
and
couldn't
give
her
those
dates."
He
thought
it
through
and
though
it
was
tough
on
him,
he
shot
from
8
am
in
the
morning
to
4
am
the
next
day,
for
20
hours
at
a
stretch.
Notes
the
source,
"Akki
is
a
producer
too.
He
saved
Lara
the
production
cost
of
shooting
for
two
days
by
completing
his
portions
in
one
day."
The
source
concludes,
"AK
delivered
on
his
professional
commitments
and
even
chartered
a
flight
himself
so
that
he
could
fly
to
and
from
Jaipur
on
his
own
time.
Lara
is
overwhelmed
and
doesn't
know
how
to
repay
it,
especially
as
he's
not
taking
any
remuneration
for
the
role."
