Mumbai:
Actor Akshay Kumar says that hated going on the sets when he was doing back-to-back action films and that's why he considers it important to break away from genres.
Akshay was asked which is the most difficult genre and which genre he enjoys the most. "Obviously comedy is the most difficult. But I enjoy everything," he said at a promotional event for his next film
Housefull 3.
"I just want to give away comedy for a while because how long can you do one genre. You can do it for 3-5 months, and then you start getting bored of it. Like when I used to do a lot of action films, I used to actually feel bad about having to go every day and do action films. I needed a change," the actor added.
The 48-year-old actor rose to fame as an 'action star' during the Nineties when he featured in several action movies like
Mohra ,
Main Khiladi Tu Anari and
Sabse Bada Khiladi.
Recently,
Akshay has showcased his versatility as an actor by doing content-driven films like
Special 26,
Holiday,
Baby,
Airlift as well as comedies like
Singh is Bliing. After
Housefull 3, he will be seen in
Rustom -- based on a real life story of a naval officer.
