A unit hand confirms the story, saying: "The houses in Malomal were not in a good condition and urgently needed a fresh coat of paint. When Akshay sir and the production team got the entire village painted, the villagers were pleasantly surprised and treated us to some tasty Punjabi food."

In January this year, Salman had got a village in Karjat painted while shooting for Sooraj Barjatya's 'Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo' and Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
