Action
sequence
is
one
of
the
most
intense
moment
in
a
film
and
when
the
action
is
between
Bollywood
hunks,
Akshay
Kumar
and
John
Abraham,
then
one
tends
to
expect
some
real
fights.
While
shooting
for
a
fight
sequence
in
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
next
production,
Housefull
2,
in
London,
the
actors
literally
choked
each
other's
throat.
John
and
Akshay
were
enacting
a
fight
scene
where
in
the
verbal
fight
between
them
is
extended
to
throat
clutching.
The
shoot
was
so
intense
that
the
actor
ended
up
hurting
each
other.
Director
Sajid
Khan,
confirms
that
news
to
Mid
Day,
“The
idea
was
to
give
the
audiences
a
dose
of
face-offs
between
the
heroes.
Like
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Dharmendra,
or
Vinod
Khanna
in
the
older
films,
which
we
don't
get
to
see
on
screen
these
days."
The
director
also
explained
that
the
shot
was
a
tight
close
up
of
the
actors
faces,
which
demanded
the
real
expressions
and
reactions
from
both
of
them.
After
the
shot
John
was
left
suffocated
with
watery
red
eyes
and
marks
on
the
neck,
while
Akshay
was
left
red
faced,
gasping
for
breath
for
a
few
minutes.
The
shot
finally
turned
out
to
be
the
best
shot
of
Sajid
Khan
in
the
film
Housefull
2.
