Actor Akshay Kumar’s comic timing has resulted in several hit films like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Welcome among others. The actor said that in real life too, he is a fun-loving person, and while playing some of his iconic characters, he improvises his dialogues.

In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Akshay shared that all of this characters have one similar thread and he likes to add more to them.

“If you see even De Dana Dhan, Bhaagam Bhaag, Wicked Sunny (Mujhse Shaadi Karoge), Raju or Hera Pheri, they are of the same genre, but someone is nice, someone is poor, someone is mediocre, but their thinking is the same. In life also, mujhe masti bohot soojhti hai (I think of funny things). I would think of something completely out of the box,” Akshay said.

He added, “Lot of dialogues, jo aap filmon mein dekhte ho, wo likhe hue nahi hai, wo mere andar se nikle hue hote hai aur you can figure it out ki ye koi writer likh hi nahi sakta (Many dialogues that you see are not written in the script. I make them up and you can figure it out that no writer can write these dialogues).”

“Comedy is a very inbuilt thing, that somebody has to tap in. Like, if someone could tap it in me, it was Priyadarshan sahab and two more people – Rajkumar Santoshi and there was a boy who was a writer Neeraj Vohra. These three people made me feel that I can do this as well. Otherwise I started my career with action films and I wouldn’t have known about any other genre. I would have continued doing action,” he said.
