Except for one detail Akshaye is having a ball shooting for Neeraj Vora’s Shortcut in Bangkok.
"I need a quick break to visit Mumbai. I’m homesick. If I get a break of 2-3 days I’ll go back. So far we’ve get only one day off every ten days. That isn’t enough to dash in and dash out."
Basking in the blockbuster opening of his new film Race Akshaye is shooting Shortcut with director Neeraj Vora. "He wrote all my films for Priyadarshan. So I know Neeraj very well. I’m thoroughly enjoying myself."
Akshaye plays a director while Arshad Warsi plays a ’bad’ actor. Yet another flick set in the film industry! Amrita Rao is Akshaye’s co-star in Shortcut.
"She’s a very sweet decent girl Though raw she’s a good actress. She’s now coming into her own, " gushes Akshaye as he does about all his co-stars. "I really enjoy working with my actors, male or female. I like being with them. Bouncing off ideas."
He’s reluctant to talk about Shortcut but reveals, "The film has a lot of theatre actors. It’s a character-based energetic film. I like doing energetic films.
In Race I worked on investing a gusto to my character. That’s why I enjoy working with Abbas-Mustan. They give me the freedom to make the best use of my space as an actor.
