Akshay Kumar’s gift for Aarav

Akshay's gift for Aarav

And he has to do it quickly as Aarav is losing his patience.
Now Akshay wants to fulfil his son's wish and has been requesting all this colleagues to dub the film at the earliest so that he can arrange for the screening.

Laughs Akshay, "Yes Aarav wants to see Jumbo. He is very excited about watching the film."

But there's a cute story behind what made Aarav make this request to his dad. It so happened that after coming back from Cape Town, Akshay Kumar has been doing most of the voice rehearsals of the film at his home at Andheri's Lokhanwala Complex.

And Aarav used to come and sit beside dad while the rehearsals used to go on.
"The whole exercise of everybody shouting in strange voices amazed little Aarav. He keeps on giggling and clapping throughout the rehearsal sessions. Whenever he is at home, he will make sure that he doesn't miss any of these sessions," says a source closely associated with the project.

"Aarav really likes animation films and his favourite includes Kunfu Panda and Shark Tale. Jumbo, like Kunfu Panda and Shark Tale is a family tale and talks about family values," the source adds.

It was at one of those rehearsals that Aarav made a request that he too wants to 'speak' in the film. Akshay immediately jumped to the idea and requested the producers if Aarav can 'play' a small little cameo in the film. But then Aarav's dubbing schedule clashed with his school mid-term exams and he couldn't star in the film. But little Aarav Bhatia didn't want to give up so easily.

It so happened that recently Akshay Kumar was doing another round of rehearsals at his home with all actors including his mother-in-law Dimple Kapadia. During this rehearsal session, Aarav was sitting beside his nani while watching his dad check for 'attitude reference' of the characters. Bits and pieces of the film were also being played on the monitor.

"Aarav got so excited after seeing those portions of Jumbo that he immediately went up to his dad, pulled his shirt and screamed that he wants his dad to show this film to him and his friends as soon as possible. That too, on the big screen!" reveals the source.
So what he couldn't be one of the characters in the film, little Aarav's second wish has been granted for sure.

Aww, awesome! I can't wait for Jumbo too.

Soo cute hope that happens for him :)
