Akshay Kumar: ‘Amitabh Bachchan is the real king’

Action star, Akshay Kumar does not believe that he is the king even when his film Singh in Kinng is making waves at the box-office, as he thinks the Big B is the ultimate king of Bollywood.

He says, “All the other actors have been in the industry for 15-20 years, but Amitabh Bachchan has been working here for more than 35 years, so he is the real king.”

Akshay who has worked with Amitabh in ‘Khakee’ Waqt’ and’ ‘Aankhen’ adds, “I’m overwhelmed with the down to earth attitude of the great actor. In spite of being so successful, he is so humble with everyone. “I’m not pointing to any actor. This is my personal opinion and I am free to express it.”

When quizzed how he feels about his role in ‘Singh Is Kinng’ he said,  “I am playing Happy Singh in the film, which is very close to my heart. I’m a Punjabi and grew up in a Punjabi environment. I did not do much preparation for the role as I am familiar with their style. Playing the character was not at all difficult for me.”

Well now that’s a humble quote from the King himself.
