According to a source, while shooting for this action comedy movie, Akshay got emotional on the set. “We were shooting for a scene in Chandni Chowk which was hardly some 200 meters away from Akshay’s old house. That was the place where he grew up. Infact the house is still there, with some of his relatives residing there. Akshay wanted a glimpse of his old house as he hadn’t visited the place for a few years now. But it was impossible for him to reach his old house in Chandni Chowk in the day as he would get mobbed by the crowd. So one early morning, at 4:00am, Akshay drove the car himself and went outside his house, stood there for 30 mins and relived the old happy days.”
Boss is all set to tickle your laughter bones and yes, break the bones of the villains in the film.
