During the shoot in Ladakh, Akshaye had to use an oxygen mask because of high-altitude sickness, but he still did a great job.
His dance moves in the song FA9LA have gone viral, and fans like Saina Nehwal have even recreated them.
The movie also stars Ranveer Singh, and there's going to be a sequel coming out next year.
