Mumbai: Promotions for Abbas-Mustan's next thriller Race kicked off even as Mumbai is witnessing unusual cold weather. The stars of the film were promoting their film, huddled in their winter best.

Actor Akshaye Khanna, certainly felt the chills saying "This is a drastic climate change, as I have never experienced this cold a climate in Mumbai and I have never worn a jacket in Mumbai, but this year I am."

Actress Katrina Kaif who has been paired with Akshaye for the first time will be seen breaking rules in speeding cars on roads.

She shared her thrilling experience saying, "One has to have nerves of steel to be in a car going that fast, there were a few car sequences towards the climax which were quite scary, they were my first experience doing action on screen but Akshaye was with me."

Despite being caught in the midst of all the action, the lady had her sense of humour intact, "When we were shooting for one music video where everyone was supposed to be in four different corners, so everyone stood in their respective corner, and when it was time for the shot each one had to be called from their respective corner because no one wanted to stand together", she jokes.

But Katrina and Akshaye share a great camaraderie which is hard to miss, and the lady is all praises for her co-star, "It was interesting at first as he never spoke much , I thought he would bite me or something ,but Akshay turned out to be a complete sweetheart and he taught me how to play chess and I have to really thank him for that", she adds.
