A few days ago, speaking with news agency PTI, Akshay said he realised after the first decade in the Hindi film industry that he was stuck in the action star image and needed to break out urgently. And he did that by exploring different genres such as comedy, drama, romance and horror comedy. “But after that decade, when I saw my films, I felt like slapping myself. I had only done action roles and nobody thought I was capable of anything else. I realised that I needed to transform myself and I wanted to do different characters. I then did Hera Pheri, Dhadkan, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Toilet...Ek Prem Katha and Padman. I have kept transforming myself,” he said.
