New Delhi, May 20 (IANS) Akshay Kumar recently took a break from his hectic shooting schedule and flew to Barbados in a private jet to enjoy the T20 World Cup finale between England and Australia.

His friends coaxed him to take a break to catch the match and celebrate the success of his last release "Housefull".

"Akshay flew his friends in a private charter for a four-day-long all guys vacation where they stayed at a friend's bungalow on Bridgetown beach," a source close to the actor said.

The star made sure he and his pals got the best seats in the stadium.

"Seated in the most expensive seats in the stadium, they cheered their hearts out during the England v/s Australia final at Barbados and were seen having a riot of a time," the source added.

England lifted the World Twenty20 beating Australia by seven wickets in the final Sunday at the Kensington Oval.

Soon after the match, Akshay flew to London in a private jet to shoot for Nikhil Advani's "Patiala House" since all flights to and fro to London were cancelled due to volcanic ash.

"Yes, Akshay did take a private jet since he wanted to reach London on time for the shoot schedule. He has always been a thorough professional," Akshay's spokesperson said in a statement.

Apart from "Patiala House", the actor is also working in Farah Khan's "Tees Maar Khan" and Anees Bazmee's "Thank You". Click the Movie button below for more info:
