After Housefull 4, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is back in the genre of comedy with Good Newwz pairing with actress Kareena Kapoor Khan. The film has earned some good reviews. IBNS-TWF tracks the actor on the film and more.
What made you to do this film?
I just heard the script for exactly three minutes… I immediately said yes. I really liked the script. I liked the idea behind the film and it could be so funny. The film is based on real incidents.
What is good news to you?
I search for good news in bad news as well. I am a very positive kind of a person. So whatever I get in life, I will make something good out of it.
What has been the role of writers in shaping up your career?
They have a very big role. I think writers are the most important people. Even I feel they are even more important than directors. Actors will have no use if they don’t get good writers and scripts. They are the most important part of a film.
You have done a music video recently and that too for the first time in your career. Why did it take so long and will the audience see you in music videos again?
Actually I liked the song. I felt like doing and I just went to do it. I have done around 700 songs in about 140 films so far in my career. I didn’t do the music video just to add one more to the list but because I felt like doing it.
As the discussions are going on about pay-parity, do you make sure that your female co-stars get equal remuneration?
I am doing films with Dharma (Dharma Productions) a lot as well as other corporates. The production houses finalise everything and I am very glad that the female co-actors are equally paid.
