Akshay Kumar recalls why he reinvented his image as ‘action’ star
Akshay Kumar has shared his honest thoughts on spending a decade doing action films as he reflected on his career journey.
The player actor, known for his candidness and humour, spoke at length about his evolution as an actor.
In an exclusive interview with PTIKumar revealed that he wanted to slap himself after dedicating an entire decade to action films.
He told the outlet, “Thirty-five years are a long time…. It is a one in a billion or million chance to have 35 years of career. I hope I go further and cross 40. The prayer is that I keep shooting just five minutes before my death. Initially, when I came to the industry, I only wanted to make money.”
Kumar also shared that he decided to explore genres such as comedy, drama, romance, and horror comedy.
“But after that decade, when I saw my films, I felt like slapping myself. I had only done action roles and nobody thought I was capable of anything else. I realised that I needed to transform myself and I wanted to do different characters. I then did Hera Pheri, Dhadkan, You will marry me, you will go to the toilet…I will tell you some love. and Padman. I have kept transforming myself.”
On professional front, the actor was last seen in Bhoot Bangla alongside Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Wamiqa Gabbi, among others.
