Interviews at around the time of a movie release is very routine. But for his keenly-awaited upcoming film BOSS, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who also celebrates his 46th birthday today, was interviewed by a few of his die-hard fans. Two prominent Twitter fan clubs of the actor called for questions from fans with #TalkToBOSS on Twitter. The response was outstanding. 10 questions were picked and answered by none other than Akshay Kumar himself! Here you go.. over the BOSS himself! 1. Hello Akshay sir, I am your biggest fan. I want to ask you, how was your experience of playing a Haryanvi character in BOSS? (Gurmeet Singh) Akshay Kumar: Hi Gurmeet. Every character comes with its own colour and identity. I was excited about playing a Haryanvi character in BOSS because that’s something I haven’t done before. And I like to attempt new things all the time. The character fitted so well with the story. It was a very interesting and enriching experience because I learnt so much about Haryana and its diversities. 2. How was the experience of doing action scenes at 47° Celsius? Is BOSS your best action film? (Twitter Fan: @Action3091) Akshay: I would like to believe that in every film, I give my best shot. As far as action is concerned, I like to raise the bar every time. I want to do something that would excite me even as an audience. BOSS features a variety of action – that’s the best part about it. And a lot of the action is the kind I haven’t done before. Yes, I would say it was my toughest shooting experience when we shot in 47 degrees. But full marks to the entire unit for bearing it and giving the best results. Akshay Kumar Boss 3. How would you define your character of BOSS? And what made you sign this movie? (Shourabh Joshi) Akshay: Hi Shourabh. BOSS is a very colourful character and that’s exactly what appealed to me. He is a larger-than-life figure from Haryana with his own distinct characteristics. That forms the fun element in the film. But there are some things he will neither forgive nor forget. You don’t mess with BOSS and that message is very clear. When Ashwin (Varde) and Tony (D’Souza) came to me with the film’s concept, I loved it. Because other than the fun, action, stunts and highlights, BOSS has a huge emotional quotient. 4. Which was your toughest action sequence from BOSS? (Arpit Baherawala) Akshay: Hey Arpit. Like I have always maintained, the action schedule in Bangkok was the toughest for me. Not because of the action involved but because of the severe conditions we were shooting under. After the first day, we decided to take a two-hour break every day for the unit so that they could retain their energy. 5. How is BOSS different from other action movies? (Twitter Fan: @InaveeNJ) Akshay: It’s different in several ways. Firstly, it’s different because it offers a medley of action in all its forms. Every action sequence is designed differently. That’s not because we wanted to showcase a variety of action but because the script demanded it. Secondly, the justification for the action is very strong. There’s proper reasoning behind every action sequence. The film’s eventual culmination is a man-to-man battle in Kurukshetra. And that’s something you probably haven’t seen in a long time. There are so many things like these. 6. Which is your favourite song from BOSS? (Ganesh) Akshay: Hey Ganesh, don’t ask me to pick out one favorite because I love them all. I genuinely believe that the BOSS soundtrack is a complete package. Each song has its own novelty and flavor. Each song has been shot in a unique way. But yes, the Pitaah song is somehow closer to my heart because it’s about a father-son relationship. 7. How do you manage to be so humble despite being the BOSS of Bollywood? (Surbhit Mishra) Akshay: Thank you for your kind words, Surbhit. I don’t know how to answer this question. I don’t do anything special to stay humble. I am like that only. In life, it’s the easiest thing to stay humble. Look at Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. There’s no bigger star than him and there’s no one as humble as him. 8. Who is the real Boss in your life? (Malay Dubey) Akshay: Hi Malay, that’s a tricky question but I have to be honest with you. The BOSS in my life is my wife (Twinkle) and I mean that. And well, the BOSS is always right! 9. You worked with Ronit Roy way back in Sainik. How was your experience and how far has he changed now in BOSS? (Amit Kumar Bishwas) Akshay: Hello Amit. When Ronit and I worked in Sainik, we were both very young. There was a lot of affection and respect for each other even then. Working with him again in BOSS after so many years was a wonderful experience. He is a tremendous actor and BOSS will showcase him in a very different way. It’s commendable how hard he worked on the character he is playing. He will surprise everyone with his portrayal in BOSS. 10. You have two songs made on you (Hum Hai Seedhe Saadhe Akshay – Akshay and Chandni Chowk To China Title song” but in the BOSS title track, for the first time, your character is calling your own identity as his brother figure (“Akshay Kumar toh bhai hai apna”). What was the first thought you had when you heard the lyrics and the song for first time? (Ram Jakhar) Akshay: Hi Ram, it’s good to connect with you again. Honestly speaking, it wasn’t planned at all. As far as I remember, it was something else earlier. But then they changed it to that because of popular demand within the unit. It was all in good fun. I feel humbled when I see the kind of response it is getting. Sir, at last, any message for TeamAkshay and Akkistaan? :) Akshay: I can never thank you enough for your unconditional support and love. Do good and be good. God bless you.
