Akshay Kumar on ‘2.0’: “A hero exists only when there’s a villain”

Akshay Kumar is super excited for ‘2.0’, his first Tamil film, that stars veteran actor Rajinikanth. Kumar is playing an antagonist in ‘2.0’, and when asked on his choice to play this role, he says that there wouldn’t be a hero without a villain.

To Mid-Day, Kumar said, “Many people asked me why I wanted to play a villain and I told them, ‘Why not?’ A hero exists only when there’s a villain. I had never imagined that I would be part of the costliest Indian film.”

Like millions, Kumar is also enthralled by Rajinikanth’s aura. He said, “Once, we were just sitting on the set, waiting for the next shot and he brushed some dirt off his pants. The entire unit was awestruck by how stylishly he did it. Everything he does is so stylish. I even enjoyed getting punched by him.”

‘2.0’ also stars Amy Jackson, and is slated to release on 14th April.
