Actor Akshay Kumar and comedian Kapil Sharma don’t seem to be on good terms and the promotion of Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming Kumar-starrer 'Bachchan Pandey', scheduled for a Holi release in March is stuck in the middle. Akshay, seems to be upset over a clip from comedian Kapil Sharma’s show getting leaked on the internet. According to a report in a leading daily, it all happened when Akshay appeared on 'The Kapil Sharma Show' recently, where Kapil had asked the actor about an interview he did with a ‘famous personality’ where Kumar asked him how he liked eating mangoes. He was supposedly alluding to an interview that the actor did with PM Modi a few years back. The clip of this exchange between the two is what led to the friction. In the leaked clip, Akshay goes on to challenge Kapil to openly name the personality, while Kapil diverts the subject. The report further states that apparently after the shoot got over, Akshay requested the channel to not air this portion as it made light of the PM’s office. 'Akshay took all of Kapil’s jokes head-on but the dig on the PM interview seemed to mock the dignity of such a high office. So Akshay requested the channel to not air that question. It is a right of the guests to make such a request as the show is not live. The channel agreed, but the said scene was leaked on the internet soon after. It was a breach of trust on the part of someone in Kapil’s team, and Akshay sought a clarification before he appears on the show again.'However, according to the report, Kapil or his team has yet not responded and thus the shoot of the episode featuring the cast of 'Bachchan Pandey', directed by Farhad Samji and co-starring Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez, had to be postponed.
