Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, was recently released in theatres. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film marked his reunion with Akshay after more than a decade.
The horror comedy, featuring an ensemble star cast, has been performing decently at the box office. After its release, Zoom exclusively interviewed actress Chhaya Vora, who is an integral part of the film. In conversation with us, Vora reflected on working with and other co-stars. She went on to share some fun and interesting anecdotes from the set of Bhooth Bangla.
Chhaya Vora on playing games with Akshay Kumar
Speaking exclusively to Zoom, Chhaya Vora revealed playing Ludo and cards with Akshay and her other Bhooth Banglaco-stars. Going down memory lane, the actress recalled one day when Akshay asked his co-stars if they knew how to play Ludo.
“We all said we know how to play it, including Mithila (Palkar), and Bhavna (Pani). Wamiqa (Gabbi) ji also used to play. Akshay ji immediately asked for a tablet, and we played Ludo. Once we start playing a game, we become like kids. We were playing just like that. The beauty was that Akshay ji was winning almost all the games,” she shared in Hindi.
The Bhooth Bangla actress further revealed Mithila jokingly told Akshay that he was winning the games because it was his tablet. How did Akshay react? Chhaya Vora mentioned in Hindi, “He said okay I will play with red instead of blue. But he still won. Vo sabse bade successful khiladi hai. He made us comfortable by playing games with us. We didn’t feel like we were going to the set. We felt like we were going from home to home.”
The actress also recalled another day when Akshay again asked his co-stars what they wanted to play. “I asked him if he had cards. He said yes. We got the cards and played. We didn’t know how time passed by.”
