Akshay Kumar and Joel Edgerton
Well, it’s not just Will Smith who is fond of Akshay Kumar. Australian actor Joel Edgerton, known for his performance in 'Warrior' and directing the much-acclaimed 'The Gift', is also in awe of our Khiladi.
Joel, who happened to be Will’s co-star in his recent film, was in India a few days back. While Will couldn’t stop praising Akshay’s ghar ka khaana, Joel too seemed impressed by Akshay’s action sequences in 'Brothers', the Hindi remake of his American film, 'Warrior'.
He said, “I know Akshay. He and I literally played the same character.” When teased about the comparison between him and the Bollywood superstar, considering they played the same roles, Joel laughed, “Look, I don’t want to fight anybody!” This was Joel’s second visit to the country. He added, “When I was here in 2012, I attended a Bollywood award function and presented the Best Film award.”
