Mumbai: Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar, who share a great team equation, came together again to shoot for an advertisement for Manappuram Gold Loan. Kumar, who plays a simple man in the advertisement directed by Priyadarshan, just could not find the perfect pair of glasses that would complete his look.

Few know that Priyadarshan has never parted with his glasses and this was the first time. Reveals a source, “Priyanji insisted that Kumar wear his glasses to complete the look. Kumar was very touched with his gesture”.

He has become an actor on par with anyone else you can compare him to .His body language, emotions, dialogue delivery, and comic timing have been impeccable with enough realism and subtlety to them.”
