Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar on Friday said he stays far away from any kind of professional competition and doesn`t want to get confined to a certain image in acting. "I am sometimes called number one, number two, and at times, number three actor. But I am not in the race. I am not a horse that ends up first, second or third in a race," the 54-year-old actor told reporters here.

Kumar added that as an actor, he tries not to get confined to play a role and get captured in an image. "I want to play different roles," he said.
