Those who have seen Blue are saying that Akshay Kumar is quite like the suave spy in his underwater flick

He's a cool customer. Equally at ease jumping off way-high buildings as he is exploring the depths of the big blue sea. Action Manu00a0 should be Akshay Kumar's middle name. You can't use one word without the other. He breathes action as well as lives it. And yet, the man says he prefers to surprise you. We speak to Akki about all things action...

The first copy of Blue is out. Those who've seen it are calling you the Indian James Bond. What's your first reaction?
Wow. It's the coolest compliment ever. Every guy wants to grow up to be Bond. That's because James Bond has it allu00a0- the guns, the girls, the mean machines and the martinis. In Blue, too, I play Aarav, a character that has the cool quotient; just like Bond. It was fun playing him. It's a humbling experience when people appreciate your work to this extent. James Bond is an international hero, after all. And to be compared to him is something really special. These are compliments I'll treasure all my life.u00a0
