Akshay Kumar 'Would Like to Be Called an Actor, Not a Superstar'

A still from Baby

Akshay Kumar, who has been in the film industry for over two decades, wants to be known for his acting skills.

"I would like to be called an actor and not a superstar. That is not the tag I am looking for. I am doing Brothers. It's about martial arts, then I have Gabbar which is a different film again. So, as an actor, I am looking forward to something different," Akshay told reporters.

Akshay plays an undercover agent in Baby, which released today.

"I do everything I don't think I will do. Only one film a year or so. If I like the script, I do it. I don't want to be typecast as an action hero or comedy hero.

You can't do too many patriotic films because it will get preachy. Do the film in a limit and pass the message to the young audience in a subtle way," he said.
