‘Interview Akshay Kumar ’
: : : : : : : : :

Tell us abit about the film and your character??
My role is that of a playboy bachelor called Aroush, who enjoys a carefree, party lifestyle with his two roommates (played by Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh). Their lives are turned upside down with the arrival of a baby on their doorstep.

How was it working with Fardeen and Ritesh?
It was a real pleasure. They are both great actors, with huge personalities, which made it so much fun both on and off set.

How was Sajid Khan as a director?
Again, he is a hugely talented director, who brings such a fresh perspective to the Indian film industry. His ideas, his vision, and how he realises that on screen, is a wonderful phenomenon.

The promos make this looks very similar to a particular hollywood movie..is it different?
Yes, it’s completely different. Although inspired by the Hollywood movie, Three Men and a Baby (which was itself inspired by an earlier French film), the plot line and treatment of the subject matter, has been given that totally distinctive Bollywood re-invention.

What will the audiences be expecting from this film apart from loads of comedy??
Lots of warmth for the soul. It’s also a very endearing portrayal of relationships, human emotions and ties. I have faith that audiences who go see this film will leave the theater with a smile on their faces and a warmth in their hearts.

Tell us a bit about the music of the film?
It’s got a great soundtrack – very upbeat and catchy, blending the more traditional beats of tracks like Dholna, with the more modern tracks such as the theme tune. All very memorable and loveable for their own distinctive musical qualities.

Which is your personal fav?
All of them… for different reasons.

Was it a challange for you acting around a baby?
Not at all. Being a very proud father myself, I was used to the tantrums and tears. And that was just Fardeen and Riteish! Only joking!

What are your forthcoming releases?
Bhool Bulaiyaa, a psychological thriller, also starring Vidya Balan, and the Yash Raj release, Tashan. Also, another comedy called Welcome.
