Akshay Kumar And Director Rohit Shetty Share A Jai-Veeru Moment On A Ducati Monster

When it comes to motorcycles in Bollywood movies, the sequence of Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra riding the 1954 Ariel 350 cc motorcycle, as Jai and Veeru in Sholay, must be one of the most iconic shots. Actor Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Rohit Shetty recreated the moment off-screen while shooting for their upcoming movie Sooryavanshi. Only in this case, instead of the retro motorcycle, the actor and director duo used a modern roadster - the Ducati Monster - for their Jai-Veeru moment. The photo was shared by Akshay Kumar on his social media handle.
