After playing a gullible village bumpkin in ‘Singh Is Kinng’ and taking us all on a laugh riot with his foolhardy acts, Akshay Kumar is back to basics as he turns macho in his upcoming flick ‘Blue’, a film that seems to be an answer to mega budget Hollywood action flicks.

Akki, the action king of Bollywood is a dear old loyalist of ‘desi’ action stunts. And the actor is in no mood to admit that the Indian film industry is far behind the Hollywood flicks in any way as far as action is concerned.

In a recent interview the actor was asked, ‘Is budget a constraint for Bollywood flicks, which refrains the films from coming at par with Hollywood action films?’

To which Akki retorted and said, " I don’t understand how we are in any way far behind Hollywood. My next flick Blue is an action film and it has some of the most amazing stunts. The entire film is made in the budget if Rs 70-75 crore. I wish that whoever feels that Hollywood is better because it invests big bucks on their action films must watch ‘Blue’ and see what understand that money is not a constraint for good cinema.”

So, what jaw dropping stunts would we be seeing Akki doing this time?

‘I have performed some of the most daring stunts this time round. From fighting with sharks to performing action scenes underwater, the film will surely be one of a kind" said Akki.

Well for now, we will just have to wait and watch!
