Why did Bhumi Pednekar get a sudden call from Akshay Kumar?

Bhumi Pednekar was in for a huge surprise when she picked up a call from an unidentified landline number. It was her Toilet: Ek Prem Katha co-star Akshay Kumar calling her. Thrilled as well as anxious about the sudden call, Bhumi realized that Akshay, who is currently being an RJ on Radio Mirchi s morning show for Padman promotions, had called her to discuss her New Year resolutions!

Bhumi is a huge Akshay Kumar fan. She learnt a lot from the superstar during Toilet s shoot and promotions and looks up to him. She was thrilled that she received a call from her favourite star. When the phone rang and Bhumi picked up, she couldn t believe her ears that it was Akshay Kumar. The two bonded over New Year resolutions, discussed about Bhumi s film choices and joked about how in films whenever Bhumi gets married, problems start and that in real life she should choose a better husband. It was a super fun, very interesting conversation, says a source from the station.

While Akshay s Padman releases this Republic Day, Bhumi is set to start shooting for Abhishek Chaubey s untitled next from mid-January.
