When asked about the differences he noticed on the sets of 'Dunki' and 'Kesari', Vikram said, "Discipline is something that is maintained on every set, and entire teams of people are responsible to maintain the discipline. There isn’t much of a different in terms of working style."
"They give their shots when they have to, they give cues when they have to. Yes, it’s true that Shah Rukh gives his own cues. It’s not like that with Akshay sir. Sometimes he gives cues himself, but other times, his double fills in," he added.
Further talking about the body double of Akshay Kumar, Vikram said, "We would tell his double to learn his lines, and that’s how we’d get it done. But both stars do great work, they’re both very witty. But Akshay sir’s sets are execution-driven, I’m not sure if co-actors are given enough room to innovate."
"It would depend on the co-actor. But on Rajkumar Hirani’s set, the scope of making an art piece is always there with an actor," he added.
