Did you know? It was Akshay Kumar who picked Sajid Khan for The Great Indian Laughter Challenge

The TRP's of Akshay Kumar's The Great Indian Laughter Challenge weren't flattering and the gang of three judges - Mallika Dua, Zakir Khan and Hussain Dalal were politely shown the door. Sajid Khan and Shreyas Talpade will now join Khiladi Kumar on the show.

Says a source, "It was Akshay who suggested Sajid's name. He and Sajid are buddies and their camaraderie is crazy. When the makers were scouting for some more renowned faces, the first name Akki thought of was Sajid's. And he was just a phone call away. Sajid can never refuse Akshay and he came on board."
