In the video, he says, "I was shooting at Ghatkopar and I had to reach Versova. I checked on the map which showed 2 hours to reach there. So, my director of Good News, Raj Mehta suggested me to take a metro instead. I said it would be crowded then I thought let's take the risk and we went along with two security guards. I am quietly sitting at the corner without letting any know. Probably, some people know, others don't."

Akshay also said that he is having great fun as he was able to cover two hours of distance in just 20 minutes.

Earlier on Tuesday, megastar Amitabh Bachchan hailed Mumbai metro citing an example of his friend who had a medical emergency.

However, his tweet didn't go well with some of his fans as it came at a time when people are protesting against the cutting of trees in Aarey forest for metro construction.
