Summary Bollywood action star says he is ready for the new innings.
Akshay Kumar took a well-thought break from kicking and boxing in films, but now is back to the action genre with Rowdy Rathore.Its been some two to three years that I have stayed away from action movies. Its because when my son ( Aarav) was two years old, I was scared that what if something happened to me...thats why I was off action, Akshay said on Monday night.The 44-year-old established himself as the khiladi of Bollywood thanks to a slew of daredevil stunts in action films like Khiladi, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Waqt Hamara Hai and Mohra.Starting 2000, he tried his comic timing in the hit movie Hera Pheri, and others like Garam Masala, Phir Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhaag, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng, Housefull and Tees Maar Khan.But with Rowdy Rathore, directed by Prabhu Deva, he promises to be back in the khiladi avatar.Every father would understand the emotion behind the decision of withdrawing from action because nothing else matters for parents than the childrens happiness and well-being.But now my son is nine years old. God forbid if something happens to me, he can do something... So I am back to action, and absolutely ready for another innings, said Akshay, who adorns the cover of the latest issue of Stardust magazine.For now the actor is busy promoting Sajid Khans Housefull 2, releasing April 5.
