Desi Boyz is about two friends, an Indian and a Pakistani who lose their jobs during the 2008 economic recession. So they start working as male escorts to support their families. Akshay Kumar plays Jerry Patel in Rohit Dhawan's latest. "The movie is inspired from a true story. But only 15-20 minutes of the movie revolves around John and I being male escorts. Other than this, it is an emotionally sensitive film. It talks about the bonds of friendship and brotherhood between these two boys," Akshay says.

After movies like Namastey London and Patiala House, Akshay now embodies the true meaning of desi. So how desi he is in real life? "If u read my tweets, I tweet everyday about how you can be a desi boy. Desi boys are very simple and are extremely attached to their families, they never leave their roots. No matter where they stay, they can never forget their country. I am completely desi."

As a testimony to his desipan, Akshay makes it a point to converse only in Hindi. "I like to talk only in Hindi. We work in Hindi movies and we must like to speak the language. English is often just used as a cool quotient which I don't agree with. I greatly admire Katrina Kaif. She didn't know even a word of Hindi and now she has learnt so much from her films," he said.

After having worked with both David Dhawan as well as his son Rohit Dhawan, Akshay also spoke about their individual style of working. We hear father and son are very different in their approach. "David does not go according to any rule book. He waits for the artist to come and enact the scene and then decides where to place the camera. Rohit is very different. Both of them have their own place and importance in the industry," says Akshay. "Rohit has done a fabulous job with Desi Boyz. He has made it young and breezy. It's very lovable and you can relate to it. The film is very natural in every sense."

Akshay will be working with Chitrangada for the first time. When asked about the chemistry he shares with his co-stars, he said, "Chitrangandha is very pretty and fun to work with. She is very desi looking and reminds me of Smita Patil. She is a wonderful actress." John and Akshay were last seen together in Garam Masala and were a huge hit. After doing a number of action and comedy movies, this Bollywood khiladi now aspires to play the bad boy in his next.
