No fun in doing action films today, they feel fake

Akshay said he is not a fan of the film industry’s growing reliance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as he believes it is easy to spot a difference between the actual action sequences versus the one generated with the help of a computer.

“I’m saying this in the era of AI and people may think what they wish to, but I want to do an action film that is a real action film. The audience can feel how much effort is being put in, unlike the efforts taken with the help of AI or computer,” he said giving the analogy of a painting and its print version.

“There’s a difference between real, hand-made and printed (digital) painting. The printed painting may look perfect, and the real painting may have some flaws. Now, it depends on you, what you want to see. I want to make a real painting.” Beyond action, Akshay said he is delighted to be joining successful cinematic universes like Street and Golmaal. He played a small and yet significant role in Street 2 (2024).

The actor recently joined the cast of the fifth movie in the comedy franchise, Golmaalhelmed by Rohit Shetty. He joins the primary cast including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kemmu and Shreyas Talpade.

“Ajay Devgn said, ‘I get into every franchise’. But if I’m getting to do Street why will I not do it? I do franchise films because I’m offered as they think I’m capable of doing it. It’s good to be part of franchise films, and Golmaal is a big franchise,” the actor said.

Akshay is currently awaiting the release of his film, Bhooth Bangladirected by Priyadarshan. It is set to release on April 10.
