New
Delhi:
Stepping
away
from
his
usual
comic
and
action
roles,
Akshay
Kumar
will
be
seen
portraying
a
serious
character
in
his
upcoming
movie
Special
Chabbis
and
the
actor
says
he
is
happy
to
reinvent
himself.
The
45-year-old,
who
plays
a
fake
CBI
person
in
the
movie,
said
the
role
is
different
from
what
he
has
done
earlier
and
was
a
challenge
worth
taking.
"A
con
confident
artiste
is
something
I
have
never
been
offered
before
and
I
am
happy
to
have
got
this
opportunity.
I
am
very
satisfied
with
the
role
and
it
was
a
challenge.
But
I
am
happy
to
get
an
opportunity
to
reinvent
myself." The
"Khiladi"
actor
said
his
director,
Neeraj
Pandey,
had
to
convince
him
a
lot
to
do
the
movie.
"There
was
a
lot
of
convincing
required
from
my
director,
that
is
very
important
for
me.
The
director
has
to
make
me
understand
that
I
can
do
justice
to
the
role
because
reading
the
script
is
not
enough
for
me.
He
should
help
me
visualise
the
role
and
let
me
know
how
I
fit
in
it,"
Akshay,
who
was
in
the
capital
to
promote
the
film,
said.
Also
starring
Anupam
Kher
and
Manoj
Bajpayee,
the
film
releases
on
February
8.
