PIX: When Akshay's leg caught fire

All in a day's work for a superstar.

It's not easy being an actor -- especially if you're Akshay Kumar, who prefers to do his movie stunts himself.

The actor was requited to go through a fire hula hoop during the shooting of the song, Tung Tung Baje in his upcoming film, Singh Is Bling.

But the stunt went horribly wrong, and the actor's leg caught fire.

The pictures below will speak for themselves:

Akshay, wearing the red turban, gets ready to take the plunge.

And he makes it quite well.

Then, it goes horribly wrong.

Akshay finds himself in a circle of fire.

And Akshay, reportedly, was ready to take another shot.
