Akshay Kumar – The Expert Bowler
Akshay Kumar would be the first actor to take his part in ‘Patiala House’ to the playing field. Getting trained as a bowler, Akshay says he is now almost as good as a national-level player. “I`m working towards it. Practising my cricket gives me the biggest high,” Akshay said.
Akshay is rapidly becoming an expert bowler. “I am not yet good enough to play national-level cricket but I am getting there. I`ve been taking bowling lessons for `Patiala House` from one of the best trainers. I`m trying get to a national level. I`m very sporty by nature. So it was quite easy for me to pick it up,” Akshay reporters.
“Every morning I look forward to practising with Balwinder Singh Sandhu.” Akshay trains in cricket for a couple of hours every day. “I`m getting good enough to play beyond the film. And I will very soon. I promise you.”
Directed by Nikhil Advani, ‘Patiala House’ also stars Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Anushka Sharma. Source
