Akshay & Disha: Jungle Comedy Secrets Revealed

Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani recently appeared on the Bombay Times Lounge to discuss their upcoming film, 'Welcome To The Jungle.' Kumar, known for his comedic timing, also brought effortless humor to the conversation off-screen.

Kumar humorously confessed that keeping up with the rapidly evolving language of the younger generation, particularly Gen Z, is a challenge. He often relies on his daughter, Nitara, to decipher new slang and phrases, reflecting on how quickly language changes.

When discussing their film, Kumar emphasized that much of the comedy in 'Welcome To The Jungle' was developed spontaneously, on set. He advocates for improvisation in comedy, stating that sticking too rigidly to a script can hinder the natural flow and rhythm essential for humor.

Patani shared her perspective on career choices, explaining that she prioritizes personal happiness and the enjoyment of her work over the sheer quantity of films she undertakes. She believes that the quality of her experience while making a movie is more significant than the number of releases.

Patani also touched upon her introverted nature and the challenges of being around many unfamiliar people, though she acknowledged improvement over time in navigating social situations within the industry.
