Akshay's 'turban look' controversy in Patiala House dismissed

The makers of Patiala House are just not amused. Even as the team is busy wrapping up this biggie that features Akshay Kumar in the lead and has been shot primarily in the UK, there are tit-bits floating around the lead actor's look, something that threatened to turn into an (unnecessary) controversy. Says a senior crew member, "It was a harmless still from the film which was uploaded by us on Twitter. It showed Akshay Kumar in (seemingly) a celebration mode as he donned a traditional North Indian outfit with a 'pagdi' on top. Nothing wrong with that as men in North India do wear a pink turban when there are certain festivities or celebrations at home."
