A rare throwback picture from behind the scenes of 1997 film Dil To Pagal Hai has appeared online. It shows Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan playing cricket.
Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have been ruling Bollywood since three decades but the two have only done one film together, the 1997 hit Dil To Pagal Hai. The Yash Chopra film also starred Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor.
Now a rare picture of Shah Rukh and Akshay playing cricket on the sets of the film in free time has appeared online and their fans are just in love with it.
The old picture was recently shared on Reddit. It shows Akshay wielding the bat and Shah Rukh playing the wicketkeeper. While Akshay is seen in a formal look – white shirt and beige pants with black shoes and his old hairstyle, Shah Rukh is seen in an informal look – black shirt and denims.
A fan reacted to the picture, “Good to see SRK letting Akshay bat.” Another added, “Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna padta hai….aur haar kar jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hain! (sometimes one has to lose to gain something and the one who wins after losing is called Baazigar).” A fan noticed the placement of a plastic chair as the wicket and wrote, “Haha they weren’t above using Nilkamal’s finest as a wicket.” A Shah Rukh fan also said, “SRK’s a keeper.” Others found the picture “cute”. A comment also read: “Abb inke fans apas mein WWE khelte hai twitter pe (now their respective fans fight with each other on Twitter).”
