For a shot sand was required to be thrown for the effect but later instructions were given to stop throwing sand in hindi which ofcourse the tamilians could not follow because they dont speak Hindi.
Vipul Shah the producer of the film says, `Sand got into Akki and Sonakshi's eyes, hair and clothes. It was worse for Sonakshi, but she, Akshay and my director Murugadoss treated the situation like a comedy of errors and laughed off the whole thing.
They were truly sporting. Otherwise, a situation like this could have brought the shooting to a halt.`
