In the 1980s, in what was then Bombay, the Bhatia family used to stay in a modest housing society called Rama Krishna in Bandra (East). Here, one of Rajeev's close friends was his neighbour, Deven Tichkule. Cut to 2010, when Akshay Kumar took on the character of a simple, middle-class Maharashtrian, he chose the surname Tichkule to revive his fun-filled childhood memories.
