Actor Akshay Kumar, who is known for his perfect comic timing in several hit films like ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and ‘Welcome’, revealed that he is a fun-loving person in real life as well. He also disclosed that while portraying some of his iconic characters, he improvised his dialogues in the films.
During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Akshay shared that each of his characters has a common thread and he enjoys adding more to them.“If you see even De Dana Dhan, Bhaagam Bhaag, Wicked Sunny (Mujhse Shaadi Karoge), Raju or Hera Pheri, they are of the same genre, but someone is nice, someone is poor, someone is mediocre, but their thinking is the same. In life also, mujhe masti bohot soojhti hai (I think of funny things). I would think of something completely out of the box,” Akshay said.
He further added, “Lot of dialogues, jo aap filmon mein dekhte ho, wo likhe hue nahi hai, wo mere andar se nikle hue hote hai aur you can figure it out ki ye koi writer likh hi nahi sakta.”
Action-packed movies like ‘Saugandh’, ‘Khiladi’, ‘Mohra’ and ‘Khiladio Ka Khiladi’, among others, marked the beginning of Akshay Kumar’s career. But once he showcased his comedy prowess with films like ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karoge’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, ‘Welcome’ and many others, the audience adored him as a comedy actor.
Akshay also revealed that the credit for establishing him in the comedy genre and identifying his potential as a comedy actor goes to three people. “It was Priyadarshan sahab and two more people – Rajkumar Santoshi and there was a boy who was a writer Neeraj Vohra. These three people made me feel that I can do this as well. Otherwise I started my career with action films and I wouldn’t have known about any other genre. I would have continued doing action,” he said.
On the work front, Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Ali Abbas Zafar’s action-thriller film ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ with Tiger Shroff. The film will be released on April 11.
