Akshay Kumar is a nightmare: Suniel Shetty

Mumbai: Suniel Shetty has had enough problems with his ambitious venture, the water theme park H2O at Marine Drive. It ran into trouble with government authorities few times, even prompting him to think of shutting it down. However, now Suniel has a change of mind and is ready to expand H2O.

Suniel Shetty tells DNA about the pranks Akshay Kumar plays on the sets and the big plans he has for his business venture.

He said, "Every day fresh issues used to creep up. I had given up hope completely and even mulled over closing H2O. But then I realised that I provide employment to around 300-400 fishermen, who are certified life-savers. My team saved 37 lives last year and it promotes tourism in a big way."

Recently, Suniel successfully hosted the international Jet Ski race at the venue. He added, "I'm looking to host another international championship of Jet Ski race in January and post that I'm looking to open up another branch of H2O in Juhu. I am applying for the required permissions. It is a venture very close to my heart and I don't want to give it up just because I am having problems. I'll deal with them."

Moving on to his movie career, Suniel has teamed up with his Hera Pheri gang of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and director Priyadarshan after nine years for a forthcoming film. We asked him to reveal one trait of Akshay and Paresh that he adores and one that drives him up the wall.

"I love Akshay's energy. But he irritates me a lot too. He is a nightmare on the sets. I am an actor who takes time to get my lines and the grammar right. Finally, when I get it right, Akshay does some nautanki and makes me forget them. Also, he steals other's mobiles and messages random people from those cell phones. So, now we keep all our belongings to ourselves," he said.

About Paresh, Suniel said, "I don't have words to describe how good an actor he is. He is brilliant. He's not the kind who would visit a slum before doing a slum-dweller's role. He'll do it effortlessly. I'm very jealous about the fact that when you see him act, you forget your cue because he is so good at his job."

Suniel finds Akshay irritating

Actor Suniel Shetty talks about his co-stars Akshay and Paresh, who are back with him in De Dana Dan.

Suniel Shetty, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal created comedy history with Hera Pheri in 2000. The sequel in 2006 was not as successful or even funny, as it wasn't directed by Priyadarshan. The foursome is back with an out-and-out entertainer in the form of De Dana Dan. Actor Suniel Shetty talks about his co-stars.

Suniel loves Akshay Kumar to death, but hates how cheeky and naughty the superstar is. 'Akshay is a natural talent and very spontaneous with his scenes. He is super energetic all the time and loves playing pranks and making people laugh. He is very hyper, and that is why he irritates me. I take time with my scenes. I learn my lines and get the grammar right, and then Akshay does some antic which makes me go blank when I have to say them and I burst out laughing!,' recalls Sunil.

He adds, 'Akshay also has the bad habit of taking people's mobile phones and sending messages to random people. This created a lot of confusion, and now, we all keep our phones safe, out of Akki's reach. He is a mischievous child at heart and that is why we love him,' smiles Shetty.

About Paresh Rawal, 'Where do I begin to praise him? He is a legendary talent and an effortless actor who can do it all. His zeal, zest and dedication are inspiring, and he is a very simple and humble man at heart. I am so much in awe of him that when I see him acting, I forget my cue, because his performance leaves you speechless,' he says fondly.

About De Dana Dan, Suniel says, 'It is a fun film that will leave everyone in splits. Watch the movie expecting to be entertained, and you will not be disappointed.'

Akshay kumar's flair in comedy is just mindblowing.. His dialoge delivery is superb.. the punch with which he says his lines is outstanding. I just cannot forget his movies like Hera pheri, Garam masala, welcome.. its just hard not to laugh. He was doing great till welcome but was let down by bad scripts like cc2c.. and others.. He brought comedy back in mainstream a few years ago.. but everything got so redundant after that... Bolly has made many slapstick comedies.. I think its time to move on and make some smart comedies.. that can further enhance the genre... .. but alas innocent comedies like Andaaz apna apna.. would never happen.. cauz the pure innocence of the script, actors involved, dialoges and everything.. is just hard to find these dayz.. today actors look as if they have come straight out of ramp.. and are too polished and unreal to be believable.. I wish some goofy and real people.. come to bolly real soon..
