Taapsee’s comment on Akshay Kumar

Taapsee when asked about her reason for working in Khel Khel Mein said, "There were two reasons to do this film, firstly kisko comedy karne me maza nahi aata (who doesn't like doing comedy), second was kisko Mudassar ki lihi huin lines bolne me maza nahi aayega (who doesn't enjoy to speak the dialgues written by Mudassar). I think these were the only two reasons for me to do the film. Main ensemble cast karna bohot enjoy karti hoon. Actually ek strange trivia deti hoon. 5 saal pehle 2019 me August 15 ko ek picture aayi thi - Mission Mangal. Akshay Sir aur main saath me usme the, that was also an ensemble cast and now again (Five years ago a movie released in 2019 called Mission Mangal. It had me and Akshay Sir, that was also an ensemble cast and now again. So, hoping and fingers crossed. I have been lucky with all the films I have done with Sir. It started with Baby, Naam Shabana, Mission Mangal and now this is the fourth film with him and I can only hope it is going to get bigger and bigger).”
