Akshay Kumar talks about facing difficulty in filming his latest release 'Bachchhan Paandey.'

Akshay Kumar's latest outing 'Bachchhan Pandey' shows him as a ruthless, merciless ganglord, who loves to kill. He is a heartless person with a stone eye. The actor opened up about shooting the film with a stone-eye lens and affirmed the fact that filming with the lens was a daunting task for him. 

In a recent media interaction with Delhi media, the actor discussed that he could not see anything from the lensed eye and said, 'jaan nikal jaati thi.’ As it was a very big lens, the actor could not fix it in his eye by himself. Kumar even added that he would see everything blurry, and he shot the entire film in such condition. Akshay revealed that on the first day it took him about 15 minutes to set the lens, but later it used to take him 2-3 minutes.
