Akshay Kumar, who made a comeback to the action genre along with Rowdy Rathore, will be next seen beating up criminals in the remake to South movie Thuppakki. Now, sources report that for the action sequences in the remake, Akshay Kumar will be helped by action director Greg Powell, who had worked on Hollywood film Skyfall. Confirming the reports, Powell said, “This is the first Bollywood film I’m working on and the experience has been great.
The Indian crew is extremely professional. The special effects teams are good too. Akshay is extremely enthusiastic about trying out new things. He rehearses a lot and is very, very fast. His skills are really good. In fact, he was jumping from one building to another the other day and pulled it off very well.”Gushing about Akshay Kumar, Greg said, “For his age, Akshay is super fit. And because he practices a lot of stunts before finally performing them, things get a lot easier. I test each and every stunt personally.”
