In a new interview, choreographer Bosco Martis spoke about the work ethics of Bollywood superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar. Each of them comes with their own baggage and persona, and Bosco highlighted the difference in their approach to work, especially dance. He dismissed rumours of Salman’s lack of dedication, while praising Shah Rukh for being exceptionally committed to his craft. He also acknowledged Akshay’s reputation for not extending work hours, while commending the actor’s willingness to get the job done no matter what.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bosco recently choreographed four songs for the upcoming film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and revealed that Akshay had a fever the entire time. He said, “He’s a delight to work with. When you work with him, he gives outstanding suggestions. Sometimes I listen to them, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I have to, sometimes I don’t.”

He continued, “He works strictly for eight hours, but during those eight hours, he doesn’t leave the set. He says to me, ‘Can I please leave? Are my children not your children?’ But the beauty of him is when he sits, and when he’s working… He was not well for the Jordan shoot. He wasn’t well, he hadn’t rehearsed. He had 101-102 fever, but he was dancing. There was no break. We shot four songs back-to-back in 4 degrees temperature. There was a wind chill, dancers had to be given extra care. Akshay sir was just at it. I could see that he had a cold. But woh faulaad hai (he’s a man of steel).”
Bosco said that Akshay entertains himself on set, and would often play games with co-star Tiger Shroff for Rs 10 rewards. “In the evenings, after dancing, he would go and play volleyball. The rest of us would be dead tired in our rooms, and he’d call us for a game of volleyball… He brings a great energy to set, and unites the crew.”
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan also features Manushi Chhillar, Alaya F, and Sonakshi Sinha. The film will be released during Eid.
