Actor Kunal Kapoor, who will next be seen in "Gold", says his
co-star Akshay Kumar takes his work seriously, but not his stardom.
Talking about "Gold", Kunal told IANS over an e-mail interaction from Mumbai:
"Everybody knows it's about the first Indian Hockey team that won Gold at the
Olympics and it's a really amazing and powerful story.
"It is wonderful
working with Akshay and what I find amazing about him, which I have said before
is that he is somebody that does take his work seriously but doesn't take his
stardom seriously."
Kunal, whose crowd funding platform Ketto
collaborated with BookASmile, the charity initiative of BookMyShow, says that it
is fun to work Akshay.
"He is very easy to work with and he is also
somebody I have a great amount of admiration for because he is somebody who has
constantly reinvented the way. You know he was somebody who started as an action
hero, then he was somebody who was associated with comedy films, now he has
changed that and is associated with content that is socially relevant," he
added.
Kunal said that he cannot think of many other actors who have
reinvented themselves like Akshay has.
"So, I have a lot of respect for
that, for what he does and what he has achieved," he added.
Produced by
Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner name Excel Entertainment,
"Gold" is directed by Reema Kagti and will hit the theatres on August 15.
