Mumbai:
Akshay Kumar, who is getting ready to release
Airlift later this month, is making it his third patriotic film in three years. Akshay started with
Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty in 2014. A year later he played a special agent in
Baby and will kick-start 2016 with
Airlift, which is based on the world's largest human evacuation by any country.
"I didn't really make an informed choice. I was lucky that I got these three wonderful scripts to work on. Now I'm eagerly awaiting
Airlift," he said. (Also Read:

The other big thing that everyone is talking about is his role in
Robot 2 or
Enthiran 2. Akshay seemed excited about the film but he refused to talk about it.
"We will talk about it when the film is ready. Right now I have no authority to say anything. Do you want me to be out of contract on this film?" he quipped.
Reports say that Akshay plays the bad guy in the film but we will know for sure only once the
Khiladi himself is ready to talk about it. (Also Read:

Robot 2 is a sequel to 2010 superhit film
Enthiran, which starred Rajinikanth both as the hero (Dr Vaseegaran) and villain (his Robot named Chitti).
Meanwhile,
Airlift releases on January 22.
