Akshay Kumar Shot ‘Ghis Ghis Ghis’ With 104 Fever — And That’s Exactly Why He’s Still Bollywood’s Last Real Workaholic

There’s dedication, and then there’s Akshay Kumar showing up to a song shoot with a raging fever and still delivering full energy on camera. The story making rounds ahead of Welcome To The Jungle’s release date is both unbelievable and completely on-brand for the man who has built his entire reputation on relentless professionalism.

Akshay Kumar’s tory Behind the Song

Bhojpuri sensation Akshara Singh made a special appearance in the song Ghis Ghis Ghis from Welcome To The Jungle, performing alongside Akshay Kumar in the comic track. And what she witnessed on set left a lasting impression.

Lauding Akki’s commitment, she recalled how he was battling a severe viral infection with a 104-degree fever during the shoot. “The biggest thing was that he had a fever of 103-104 degrees while shooting. I kept observing him and realised how much he loves his work and his craft. He works with a great sense of responsibility and dedication,” she said.

Most people would have called in sick. Akshay Kumar called action.

How Akshara Landed the Song

Akshara received a call from director Ahmed Khan’s production house informing her about the song opportunity in Welcome To The Jungle. She initially hesitated — until ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya personally reached out and encouraged her to come on board. “The moment I heard Ganesh sir and Akshay sir’s name, I was completely blank,” she admitted.

For one of Bhojpuri cinema’s highest-paid actresses, it was a dream crossover moment — and Akshay’s on-set conduct only cemented her admiration.

What Made Akshay’s Dedication Stand Out

Despite his physical condition, Akshay refused to retreat to his vanity van for extended rest. The moment the director called action, he completely transformed — masking every bit of his discomfort with his trademark energy and radiant smile.

It’s a quiet reminder of why, after three decades in the industry, he still commands the kind of respect that money and fame alone can’t buy.
