The Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is currently prepping up for his upcoming release Selfiee. Both Akshay and Emraan Hashmi have joined hands for the first time in the remake of the Malayalam film 'Driving License. Recently Akshay has broken a Guinness World Record for the most self-portrait photographs (selfies) taken in three minutes at a meet-and-greet with fans in Mumbai for the promotion of his upcoming movie.
