I am very proud to be an Indian: Akshay Kumar

Interestingly, on the same day that Aamir Khan made headlines with his views on intolerance in India, actor Akshay Kumar said he is proud of his country. “I am very proud to be an Indian, and will always be,” said the actor.

Another issue that recently created a lot of buzz was artistes returning their awards. When asked to comment on it, Akshay says, “I believe one should not harm anyone or damage any property. Even if there’s a protest, it should be done peacefully.”

Over the last few years, Akshay has starred in several hits like Special 26 (2013), Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), Baby and Gabbar Is Back. And all these films have direct or indirect references to real-life incidents and people. Ask him why he is doing movies based on real-life incidents, and he says, “I really want to do such films. I find real stories extremely fascinating. I think I am in a position to choose the kinds of films I want to do.”The actor says that real stories are “interesting” to watch on the big screen. “You may have heard or read about real incidents or historical events, but watching them visually on screen is very interesting. For instance, if I were to show you on screen how Shivaji (Indian warrior king) fought valiantly in wars, you would be more interested,” says Akshay, whose next is also based on a real-life incident that took place in 1990 during the Gulf War.

Akshay sponsored many children who were participating in the championship. He also shared an image of the youngest gold medalist of the competition:

Akshay Kumar planning a sequel to Singh Is Bliing

Everyone loved Akshay Kumar in the role of Raftaar Singh and he got tons of appreciation after the film released. The film was not only critically successful, but in fact it gave Akshay Kumar the biggest opening figures till date. So after the success of Singh Is Bliing, buzz is that Akshay Kumar wants to make a sequel to the film and the makers have already started thinking about the sequel.

As a source mentions, “Akshay Kumar really feels that a sequel to Singh Is Bliing should be made. He has already conveyed this to director Prabhudheva and told him to work on the story idea.”

The opening figures of the film were bigger than Akshay’s previous release Brothers and it did very well at the box office too. So, if a sequel is made then it will do well again. The film also featured Lara Dutta and Amy Jackson, but we are not sure if the makers will make the sequel with a similar story line. We are not even sure if they would start the story from where the prequel ended and if Amy and Lara would also be a part of the second film!

Currently, Akshay Kumar is shooting for an action-thriller Airlift with Nimrat Kaur  and Housefull 3featuring Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Abhishek Bachchan, Nargis Fakhri, Lisa Haydon and himself. Both the film will release in 2016.
