I learned to love it and cinema has become the greatest source of joy in my life – in fact, it has given me the life I’m so grateful for.

“I’m so eternally thankful for the love and appreciation I get and I never take it for granted, ever.
“Thank you for everything and I hope to give you more and fall more in love with this gift of time and art.

Akshay Kumar: Comedy my favourite genre, but I constantly chase new roles
Mumbai– Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says even though comedy is his favourite genre, he loves experimenting with characters and is in a constant chase for new things.
“Though comedy is my favourite genre, I love experimenting with different roles. I have a hunger for this, I constantly chase the new. So one could say I am a very greedy kind of a person when it comes to work,” Akshay said.
The actor’s film ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is set to have its world television premiere on Zee Cinema on July 31. He says the movie is a “mass entertainer”.
Akshay added: “I’ve taken up a film like this after a long time. Not only does it sketch out the hero to be an unconventional villain but also, the whole film outlines a fresh narrative for the audience to just sit back and enjoy.”
Akshay’s co-star Arshad Warsi added that ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is the kind of film he would definitely watch.
Arshad Warsi added: “It is light-hearted, with thrill, drama, and greatly written characters. Comedy is one of the most difficult genres there is; one has to have impeccable timing with the punchlines and sense of humour to make it look effortless. But my aim, always, is to get into the character so much that I make you forget who I am. I make you forget what my previous one was, and that works for me. It’s always a breeze collaborating with Akshay Kumar.
“He is a great person at heart. I think that is one of the reasons he just goes on and on and on. Everybody wants to cast him because he is absolutely trouble-free. Apart from that, Bachchhan Paandey also gave me the opportunity to work with beautiful Kriti Sanon. She is a joy to work with, so hardworking and extremely sincere.”
‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is action comedy film directed by Farhad Samji. It also stars Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez. It is a remake of the 2014 Tamil film ‘Jigarthanda’.

There is nothing close to it. No plans. Nobody in the picture. That’s not happening.

The actress said, “I have absolutely zero plans for it. Also, I’m always going to take breaks from acting and I need that time to recuperate. It’s the kind of person I am. Most actors do it. It’s new to people here. I’ll never be able to work continuously or mechanically.”
“I’ve had a really tough one year. Worked literally every day. Because of the lockdown everything got piled up and I had to work everyday. I have five or six more projects that are going to be released,” the actress added.
Giving an update on how her ankle was healing, she said, “My ankle is a lot better. I have started walking now. I am able to put my weight on it. I did enjoy the immobility it caused because it came at the right time after I finished all my pending projects. ”
Stating that her vacation had started, the actress said that she would take it easy, travel and recuperate now. (IANS)
