Chunky got extra scenes in ‘Housefull’, courtesy Akshay

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, infamous for chopping scenes of his co-stars for more footage, had a change of heart when it came to Chunky Panday.

Akshay increased Chunky’s scenes in their last outing “Housefull” and also gave him opportunities to enhance his scenes.

“When Akshay and I shot scenes together, he suggested many improvisations for me to do in those scenes that were scripted. He allowed me to do more in certain scenes than himself,” said Chunky.

“He was very unselfish as an actor and his suggestions really upped the quality of many scenes (in the movie),” he added.

Directed by Sajid Khan, the movie that was declared a hit, also starred Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Jiah Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Boman Irani and Arjun Rampal.
