![Akshay Kumar]() "A director once told me, "At last I have completed a film on time". I asked him what he meant. He pointed out that I was the only actor he had worked with who came to the sets on time and did not keep the unit waiting even once. "You set an example for other artistes and we finished all our schedules on time." I understood him. If you are doing a film with Mr Bachchan you know he is always punctual and you consciously make an effort to be on time too. A film's lead actor sets the precedent. If he's late schedules can go haywire causing grief to the producer and the director. I'm always punctual and expect others to be punctual too!", - Akshay Kumar
