Akshay Kumar says there is only one religion and that is \u201cbeing an Indian\u201d, and his upcoming film Sooryavanshi reflects the same sentiment. Sooryavanshi, directed by Rohit Shetty, is the latest movie in the filmmaker\u2019s cop universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The franchise, which started in 2011 with Ajay Devgn\u2019s Singham series, was announced last year with the release of Simmba, starring Ranveer Singh. The climax of the 2019 film teased Akshay as Sooryavanshi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor said the film\u2019s story doesn\u2019t view the world through the lens of religion. \u201cI don\u2019t believe in any religion. I only believe in being Indian and that is what the film also shows. The idea of being an Indian and not about being a Parsi or a Hindu or a Muslim, we haven\u2019t looked at it on the basis of the religion,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if the film is more relevant in current times of communal unrest in the country, the actor said, \u201cIt is a coincidence, we haven\u2019t made it deliberately (now). But, yes, it is very much a relevant film today.\u201d The 52-year-old actor plays Veer Sooryavanshi, an ATS officer, entrusted with the responsibility to protect Mumbai from terror attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an artiste one is expected to be responsible towards the society, but Akshay said his job is to play the character, good or bad, with sincerity. \u201cWe make films which have negative and positive roles, I am just playing a character. In every film there will be both good and bad characters, the audience is smart enough to understand what to take back from the film – the good or the bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sooryavanshi marks Akshay and Rohit\u2019s first project together and the actor said he had great time working on this film. \u201cIt was very easy to work with Rohit. I have known him for 28 years when he was an assistant and today he is the most notable director. We both love doing action and comedy, so it was fun. We finished the film in 55 to 60 days.\u201d Akshay, one of the biggest action stars of Bollywood, believes it is important for an actor to be a bit scared while performing action sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noted action-director Sunil Rodrigues has choreographed the high-octane stunts in Sooryavanshi, which also has extended cameos by Ajay and Ranveer. \u201cWhen you do stunts, you need to trust your fight master or director and also should have a belief in yourself. There are people who say one shouldn\u2019t have any kind of fear but I believe there should be fear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
