Knock, Knock...Who’s There? Akshay Kumar!

Akshay Kumar and producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala have been friends for three decades now.

But Sajid, who has recently moved into the penthouse of the building where the actor resides, has learnt that there are many pros and cons to being his neighbour.

Just last week, Akshay knocked on Sajid’s door and called him out and said, “Let’s stretch our legs.” And then the actor and the filmmaker walked up and down the stairs of the six-storeyed building 10 times! We wonder if Sajid’s other neighbour Hrithik Roshan knocks on his door next and suggests some heavy weight lifting!
