Bollywood action hero Akshay Kumar's appearance during the filming of "Namaste London" or "Hello London" left his fellow actor Upen Patel tongue tied, a newspaper reported Monday.
Kumar recently turned up to watch an emotional scene being acted out by co-star Patel, said director Vipul Shah. Patel had been performing well, but when he spotted Kumar seated quietly near a television monitor, he turned jittery and began fumbling.
"Upen just couldn't deliver his dialogue," Shah told the Mumbai Mirror newspaper. "We kept on doing retakes and even after 20 retakes Upen couldn't deliver the scene."
Shah finally asked Kumar to leave the set so Patel could complete the shot.
Patel acknowledged he was intimidated by Kumar's presence. "He's my role model and I became very conscious of his presence," Patel said.
Martial arts expert Kumar, 39, has acted in more than 70 movies over the past 15 years. His string of successes include movies such as "Phir Hera Pheri" (Some More Hustling) and "Garam Masala" (Hot Spice).
Bollywood newcomer, Patel, 26, has acted in one Bollywood movie "36 China Town" that was released this year.
