Akshay said that he could relate to the trauma as he had felt the same when his father passed away. Sharing that he didn’t use glycerin to cry, the actor said:

“There are many things in the film which I could relate to. This character lost his father, the trauma he went through… When that scene was happening, to be honest, I went into that kind of trauma when I lost my father.

Akshay Kumar talks about the special request he made to his director

Furthermore, the 56-year-old actor shared that he would still remain in the character even after the director would say cut. He mentioned that he would hang his head down while still crying, as it wasn’t easy to come out of that emotion. Revealing that he had asked the director of Sarfira, Sudha Kongara Prasad, to take longer shots, Akshay Kumar added:

“There were times when Sudha would say ‘cut’, and my head was still down, because I was still crying because it isn’t easy to come out of that emotion. I’ve gone far away. I know in the back of my mind that she’s called cut, but it’s very difficult to bring it back (to reality). I used to request her to take longer shots, because then, I’m staying with the same emotion.”
