Akshay Kumar on being typecast: It's very difficult to come out of it

Akshay Kumar had no God father in bollywood and what he achieved is because of his hard work. But many think that the actor is being typecast as a patriotism driven actor. However, Akshay disagrees to being typecast.

Akshay said, "I am doing different kinds of characters and they are not chosen on the basis of a particular message to give in a film. Whichever script I find exciting, I take it up. Last year I did comedy with Housefull 3. I keep experimenting with genres. I don’t want any particular image for myself, I don’t want anybody to say that I am an action or a comedy hero. I want people to think ki yeh koi bhi role kar leta hai (He can do any kind of role)."

He also said, "I have gone through a lot because of image issues. In the first 14 years of my career, I had the image of only being an action hero. It came to a point where I started hating action films. When you get typecast in a certain image, it’s very difficult to come out of it."
