Q. You worked with Akshay for the first time. Was it nerve wracking?
Sidharth: Yes, it indeed was. When I was first told that we will be doing an action film, I was confused about what I will show to the audience as Akshay is an action film icon. I prepped up for four months to match up to him. I was asked to put on 10 kgs for the role and I underwent training by coaches from Los Angeles.
