Actor Akshay Kumar, who is returning to action after six years with his upcoming film, Rowdy Rathore, says his 10-year-old son loves to see his tough side on screen. The 44-year-old says that his son Aarav was the reason he took a break from risky roles, but the kid has grown up to becomea martial arts enthusiast like him and loves to see his father in action films.
“I started picking comedy films as my child was just one year old and I didn’t want to take much risk. But now, I can go ahead and do whatever I want to,” says Kumar, adding: “Aarav loves action himself. He does rock-climbing and deep sea diving. He is into martial arts too, but he doesn’t train under me. He has watched my comedy films but he loves the action part of me more.”
Kumar, who is taking a break from comedy after the release of Housefull 2 as he is “bored” of them, is ready to dole out a variety of films like Special Chabbis, Joker and Khiladi 786.Housefull 2, which will release on April 5, stars 12 actors, and Kumar feels that “no one other than director Sajid Khan could have handled so many stars easily.”Akshay Kumar is shooting the climax of his forthcoming film Rowdy Rathore at the Badami village in Bagalkot district of Karnataka, and says he will miss the place once the shoot gets over. “
Who would have thought that I’d be sad to see the back of Badami Village near Hubli where Rowdy Rathore action has taken place. After 30 days of raw hard work, I don’t know what I’m gonna miss more, the caves or the friendly frogs I would wake up with every morning!” the 44-year-old posted on Twitter.
Buzz is that actor Karisma Kapoor, 37, will feature in an item number in Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film, Rowdy Rathore. The song will be shot in Mumbai the next month. Karisma is also gearing up for a comeback in Bollywood with Vikram Bhatt’s Dangerous Ishq, which may be showcased at Cannes Film Festival later this year.
Trust Akshay Kumar to make his character appear as authentic as possible. On the sets of the film, Rowdy Rathore, the actor was mistaken for a real cop. A crew member reveals, “For a scene, Akshay who was donning the costume of a police officer, had to ride a bike with actor Sonakshi Sinha as a pillion rider. As the shot was being canned, another bike with a couple seated over it, whizzed past in full speed. Since Akshay continued riding the bike as per the shot’s requirement, the stranger couple thought Akshay to be a police officer chasing them. The guy immediately stopped his bike and profusely began apologising, only to discover that it was Akshay Kumar instead.”The film is being directed by Prabhu Deva, and co-produced by Sabina Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
After hand-painting the poster of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Rowdy Rathore, the street painters hired by the filmmakers have now created a portrait of the film’s lead cast Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. According to an insider from the film set, the actors had to spend almost four hours standing still in the same position, so the artists could create the piece flawlessly.“Four painters were hired for the job and they all worked simultaneously and presented four versions, all of which will be unveiled in due course of time,” says the insider. It was reported that the decision to rope in the street painters for the posters of the film, as well as other artwork, was co-producer Bhansali’s. The filmmaker intends on reviving the art form that was rampant in the ’80s, but was phased out with the arrival of the digital age.

Kumar, who will return to action after a series of comedies and romantic films with this Prabhu Deva directorial, feels the poster does his character complete justice.“The looks being unveiled are keeping the action theme and the attitude of Rowdy Rathore in mind,” says Kumar.The first poster of the film, which was also hand-painted, was released around Diwali. The latest one marks the onset of the New Year.“They are choosing different occasions to unveil the looks,” adds the insider.
Jointly produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Bhansali and directed by the South Indian dancing icon, Rowdy Rathore is an out-an-out action film with a touch of comedy. The makers have wrapped up the first two shooting schedules of the film and are now preparing to shoot in Karnataka next.Akshay, who last sported a moustache in his 1995 hit Sabse Bada Khiladi, will be seen bringing the style back with this film.“It’s essential for the character,” says Akshay.
