Akshay Kumar has been working on serious films for the last two years and can’t wait to get back to his comic self. He played a tough secret service agent in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby and was a terrorist-chasing military officer in A R Murugadoss’s Holiday (2014).

Not to forget his Lord Krishna avatar in OMG - Oh My God!  (2012) and his latest act as a corruption vigilante in Gabbar is Back. He feels it’s time to laugh a little. Rightly so, we love his slapstick comic self!

I am itching to go back to Housefull 3. I want to go back and do slapstick comedy. I want to fall on a banana peel!

Akshay admitted that he misses being a part of Hera Pheri 3, which he had to turn down due to personal reasons.

I won’t be doing a cameo in Hera Pheri 3. I am sure they will make a good film and come up with something brilliant.

We’ve seen him pull off a range of LOL comedies with directors like Priyadarshan, David Dhawan and Rajkumar Santoshi. Though his next film Gabbar Is Back has subtle humour mixed with a heavy dose of action.

While he might still be emerging as a comic, his stunts remain unparalleled. Akshay Kumar usually does all the daredevilry himself and keeps it real in Gabbar too. But he is disappointed with fans copying his stunts mindlessly.

I read some guy jumped from the plane and took my name when the police caught him. Why don’t they follow the good work I do? It’s just a film, enjoy it don’t take it to heart. Try to grasp the good things from it. Don’t follow the wrong things of the negative or grey characters.
– Akshay Kumar

Could this be the reason for Akshay wanting to go back to harmless comedy? Who knows! We can’t wait to watch him fall over a banana peel either way! Of course, only after we’re done with his brand new film Gabbar Is Back.
