Akshay Kumar: COMEDY KING

Comic bug!

         It's been quite some time since we saw Akshay Kumar show his signature high-octane action moves on the big screen. Never mind that he's been dishing out doses of action on the small screen for his commercials.

        Though his fans are missing seeing the Khiladi's high-on-adrenaline-rush acts, Akshay Kumar himself is not too keen on getting back in the action groove anytime soon, Rather, the action star - probably encouraged by the response his comedies have garnered at the box office - is intent on doing light-hearted entertaining films.

        Akki, however, does admit that he won't mind indulging his reflexes for action-comedies. "I think comedy is as challenging as an action film. But making people laugh is what I am enjoying immensely. So, hard-core action will have to wait for a while. But yes, action can never cease to be a part of me, so action comedies are high on my to-do list," says Akshay, whose forthcoming films include Tees Maar Khan, Patiala House and Khatta  Meetha that takes a hard look at the road mafia, with a comical twist. With his hands full of comic capers, it will be quite a while before Akshay goes back to his action turf.
