Actor
Akshay
Kumar
is
elated
with
the
response
to
director
Prabhu
Deva's
recently
released
film
Rowdy
Rathore,
which
has
opened
to
an
overwhelming
response
at
the
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
Now,
the
Bollywood
action
king
insists
that
he
would
continue
doing
movies
of
all
genres.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
Akshay
Kumar
said,
"When
I
used
to
do
action
movies
earlier...everyone
used
to
say
I
am
doing
a
lot
of
action
movies.
These
are
nothing
but
mood
swings
of
people
and
even
audience
also
has
mood
swings.
What
I
have
learnt
is
one
should
do
everything
from
comedy
to
action,
from
romantic
to
negative
roles.
There
should
be
balance
in
everything."
Akshay
further
said,
"When
we
had
gone
to
a
few
cinema
houses
we
had
seen
people
dancing
in
theatres,
whistling
and
having
fun...and
it
feels
great
to
see
this
kind
of
response.
I
heard
that
in
Rajasthan,
there
are
about
eight
lakh
Rajput
Rathore,
dressed
in
traditional
avatar,
are
all
set
to
watch
the
film
together." The
actor
added,
"It
is
a
big
thing
for
me.
Even
if
I
don't
get
award
it's
ok,
but
it
is
this
reward
that
makes
me
happy."
Rowdy
Rathore
is
an
action
film,
which
features
Akshay
Kumar
and
Sonakshi
Sinha
in
the
lead.
The
film
released
on
Friday,
June
1.
The
movie
had
a
compelling
start.
The
film
has
reportedly
earned
Rs
15.10
crore
on
the
opening
day,
making
it
the
third
biggest
opening
of
all
times
after
Agneepath
and
Bodyguard.
When
asked
about
the
one
thing
that
clicked
with
the
audience
Akshay
says,
"May
be
the
story
line.
After
all,
it
is
a
remake
film
from
South
and
it
is
surprising
that
people
are
liking
the
film.
The
amazing
part
is
that
in
Chennai
and
Hyderabad,
it
is
doing
a
good
business.
It
is
surprising
that
people
want
to
see
the
same
film
in
different
languages.
It
is
the
same
film
after
all."
However,
Akshay
Kumar
had
began
his
acting
career
in
the
1990s
through
action
films
like
Khiladi,
Waqt
Humara
Hai,
Mohra,
Suhaag,
Elaan
and
Khiladiyo
Ka
Khiladi.
Later,
he
took
a
break
to
star
in
romantic
films,
comedy
and
drama
movies
and
gave
hits
like
Dil
Toh
Pagal
Hai,
Dhadkan,
Hera
Pheri,
Mujhse
Shaadi
Karogi,
Garam
Masala,
Hey
Babyy,
Welcome,

Rishta
and
Waqt,
respectively.
