Akshay Kumar,
who is excited
about his
upcoming film
Special Chabbis
claims that he
hasn't changed much even after
spending two decades in
Bollywood. The actor believes
that mistakes are a powerful
weapon to improve in life and
asserts that every actor makes
mistakes.
Tell us something about
Special Chabbis and was any
special homework required for
the film?
Special Chabbis is inspired from
real story and its fun to work on
real incidents. I enjoyed doing
this film. The director Neeraj
Pandey did maximum research
as he knows his work well. I just
did what he told me to do.
You took a while to say yes to
this film?
When I read the script, I found it
to be ok. However, after Neeraj
narrated it to me, I said yes.
When I read it didn't sound as
interesting as it did after
Neeraj's narration.
What will you say about your
co-star Kajal Aggarwal? You did
two films with Sonakshi Sinha
and will be also working with
her in future. So, do you
recommend her?
I enjoyed working with Kajal
and we share a great rapport.
She is hard working and
gorgeous. She fitted the
character so well as she is
traditional and simple. As far as
Sonakshi is concerned, I don't
recommend people as it's the
director's decision.
In 2012, all you movies did well
expect Joker. Do you feel the
pressure for Special Chabbis?
I am not worried about Special
Chabbis. This movie was
supposed to be made in a
certain budget. I have charged
half my remuneration for this
film in comparison to what I
charge for other films. I am
proud to be a part of this film.
Do you regret anything and
after spending time in
Bollywood what are the
mistakes which you don't do
now?
Every actor makes mistakes. I
have done mistakes and I still do
them. There is no actor, who
doesn't do mistakes in life.
According to me, mistakes are
one step which helps you go
forward in life.
Salman Khan seems to be your
biggest competition in
Bollywood as both of you got
mass following?
I believe in my work and Salman
believes in his. We both are
friends and I don't believe in
numbers.
