'I am into sports, not trade' 
Akshay Kumar, who is making his television debut with Khatron Ke
Khiladi on Viacom 18's new channel called Colors, launched the
channel in Bangkok on Monday. The action hero showed his daredevil
skills at this launch by holding an ajgar [python] around his neck
and by doing some motorbike stunts but got emotional about his
association with Bangkok, "Ishare a lot of memories with this city
because I use to work here as a waiter in my earlier days."
Speaking about the show, the actor said, "I have been getting lot of
offers on television but nothing excited me. When Khatron Ke Khiladi
came to me, I really liked it and accepted this offer." The show
will have 13 bombshells from the Hindi film industry including Yana
Gupta, Sonali Kulkarni, Anjana Sukhani, Sayali Bhagat, Aditi
Govitrikar and Pooja Bedi to name a few. When asked if Akshay took
this offer only because Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman
are on the small screen. He jokingly said, "Yes I like to copy and
so I am on the small screen."
Akshay, who is the brand ambassador of IPL's Daredevils team of
Delhi said, "I am into sports and not trade. I believe in game and
not in war." His forthcoming venture is Ashtavinayak's next film,
"Blue", that also stars Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Lara Dutta and
Zayed Khan. Major action portions of the film will be shot
underwater in the Bahamas.
Speaking about "Blue", Akshay says, "I have done all kinds of
action,now it's an underwater film where I will be with sharks." The
actor has also been finalised for the role of Tatya Tope. "Yes I an
playing Tatya Tope in the film," he confirms.
