Selfiee has all the ā€œingredientsā€ and I think it is a ā€œwholesome film.ā€ This is what Akshay Kumar said when he was asked to share his thoughts on the Raj Mehta directorial. In the latest video, which has some amazing behind-the-scenes moments from the sets of Selfiee, Akshay said, ā€œThe story, I would say, is a really fun one. There is a lot of drama, comedy and action in it. It has all the ingredients. I would say it is a wholesome film.ā€ Akshay also stated that he got ā€œsuper excitedā€ after listening to the story.  ā€œWhen director Raj Mehta narrated the story, which is about a superstar and his biggest fan, I was very excited,ā€ he added. 

Raj Mehta, who also opened up about his experience of shooting the film with Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi, said that he was ā€œfortunateā€ to direct Akshay Kumar for the second time.  ā€œI am a huge fan of Akshay sir. Then when I got the opportunity to direct him for the second time. I left really, really fortunate that I got to direct him in this manner,ā€ he said.

Talking about Akshay Kumar's amazing comic timing, Raj Mehta added, ā€œHe has great comic timing. So these punches sometimes land so subtly without anyone realising, that you just end up cracking up on set.ā€ 

Raj Mehta also spoke about a particular scene in the movie. He added, ā€œThere is a scene where he [Akshay Kumar] is supposed to come running and charge from a distance. He is trying to reach Emraan [Hashmi] who is beaten up by the crowd in the centre. So he just pushes them aside, reaches there and in the first second itself, he picks a danda [stick] and starts beating Emraan as well.ā€

Sharing his thoughts about his two lead actors - Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi - in the film, Raj Mehta said, ā€œAkshay sir, pulled Emraan towards himself a little bit and by the end of it, Emraan also started to enjoy it. Emraan is also, if I may use the word, mischievous, himself. But he just hides it really well.ā€ 

Well, it is not just Raj Mehta who is a fan of Akshay Kumar's comic timings. Emraan Hashmi shares a similar feeling. The actor said, ā€œHe is such a funny guy. There's this humour that he brings to the table in his films. And there is his own personal humour that is genuine, that's him. And, it's like a laugh a minute. He is always cracking jokes.ā€

Oh, and, as per Emraan Hashmi, Selfiee is ā€œa film that's touching, that's moving, that's emotional. Just expect a roller-coaster ride, a fun ride.ā€ 

Akshay Kumar has shared the video with the caption, ā€œIt's all work and all play on the set of #Selfiee :) It was a lot of fun making the film with our team. Enjoy the madness in Selfiee releasing in cinemas this Friday, February 24.ā€

Selfiee  also stars Diana Penty and Nushrratt Bharuccha. It will release on February 24.
