Mere Saare Paise Kha Gaya: Farah Khan’s Hilarious Dig at Akshay Kumar’s Helicopter Commute Leaves Fans Curious

Farah Khan made a surprising and amusing revelation about actor Akshay Kumar—one that has now caught the internet’s attention.

While promoting their new film Bhoot Bangla alongside Priyadarshan and Rajpal Yadav, Farah shared an anecdote from the shooting days of their 2010 film Tees Maar Khan—a story that left everyone in splits.

“He Took a Helicopter Every Day…”

The shoot for Tees Maar Khan was conducted in Malshej, a scenic but remote location nearly two-and-a-half hours away from Mumbai. Most of the crew stayed on location due to the distance and early call times. However, Akshay Kumar had a rather unconventional travel routine.

Farah recalled, “We were shooting in Malshej, and the call time was 8 am. Everyone stayed there because it was a long drive. But Akshay would go home every evening and come back the next morning by 7:45.”

This revelation left Rajpal Yadav visibly stunned, prompting him to wonder how such daily travel was even possible. That’s when Akshay casually dropped the bombshell—he used a helicopter for his commute.

A ‘Taxi’ in the Sky

Farah jokingly remarked that it was the first time she had seen “an actor treat a helicopter like a taxi.” Despite the extravagance, she acknowledged that Akshay was always punctual and professional on set.

When Akshay defended his choice by pointing out that he was also a producer on the film, Farah didn’t hold back her humor. She quipped, “And so was I… mere saare paise kha gaya!”—a remark that had everyone laughing.

Akshay, in his defense, insisted that Farah had actually earned the most from the film. The banter continued with Farah joking about calling Ronnie Screwvala to settle the matter once and for all.

A Film That Found Its Second Life

Despite the lighthearted memories, Tees Maar Khan had a mixed journey at the box office. The film managed to earn approximately ₹84 crore domestically but received lukewarm reviews from critics upon release.

However, time has been kind to the film. Over the years, several scenes, dialogues, and songs have resurfaced on social media, turning into viral memes and gaining a cult following among younger audiences.

Today, what was once seen as a commercial disappointment has evolved into a nostalgic entertainer, proving that sometimes, films find their audience long after their theatrical run.

A Glimpse Into Bollywood’s Quirky Realities

This amusing behind-the-scenes story not only highlights Akshay Kumar’s dedication to maintaining his personal routine but also offers a peek into the quirky realities of Bollywood filmmaking.

In an industry where time is money, Akshay’s helicopter rides may have raised eyebrows—but his punctuality ensured the show always went on.

And as Farah Khan’s witty remark suggests, sometimes the most expensive stories turn out to be the most entertaining ones.
