Akshay Kumar has the status of never canceling his shoots. However, he cancelled it recently and it was for his own production. The actor, who's known never to cancel a shoot, did it recently. And it was his own production! A very bad sprain in his back forced him to cancel the shoot for his own production, Patiala House.
 
The actor has been shooting non-stop for the Nikhil Advani movie at Mehboob Studios. During an action scene, he strained his back, which caused him huge pain. 
 
A close source reveals, "Since he performs stunts on his own, it takes a greater toll on the back. And he's had a back problem for a really long time. The pain wasn't getting any lesser. Akshay decided to call it a wrap and rest for the day. The doctor advised the actor physiotherapy and adequate rest."



The close source further added, "No-one else lost money by his cancelling the shoot, so Akshay didn't think twice. He's had a record of working in the industry without ever canceling a shoot, only because he doesn't like the producer to suffer losses at his expense." 
 
Nikhil Advani tells, "Yes, Akshay hurt his back while shooting. His back got strained earlier in the day during his exercises, but after the shoot, it got further aggravated."
