Actor
Akshaye
Khanna,
who
has
returned
to
the
big
screen
after
four
years
with
a
role
in
Dishoom,
says
he
is
looking
at
doing
small
parts
in
a
few
films
for
now.
He
says
he
chose
to
feature
in
Dishoom,
as
he
really
liked
the
script
and
as
it
was
an
interesting
concept.
"The
role
really
excited
me
and
we
had
a
great
cast.
Since
I
had
taken
such
a
long
break,
the
first
three
to
four
films...
I
wanted
to
do
substantial
roles
but
smaller
parts
just
to
get
back
into
the
rhythm," Akshaye
told
IANS
here.
Akshaye
also
said
he
was
also
approached
for
a
role
in
Season
2
of
24.
"Anil
Kapoor
wanted
me
to
do
a
small
part,
but
that
part
didn't
excite
me.
He
is
a
good
friend
and
I
am
a
very
good
friend
of
his.
So
he
did
ask
me,
but
I
just
didn't
feel
it
was
right
for
me,"
the
Dil
Chahta
Hai
actor
said.
However,
he
is
impressed
the
way
Anil
has
managed
to
make
24
despite
the
budget
constraints
in
India.
"Initially,
he
(Anil)
told
me
he
has
got
the
rights
of
24,
but
I
was
a
little
skeptical,
because
if
you
see
the
American
show...
It's
so
big
and
their
production
value
is
so
huge.
"I
know
our
TV
budgets
in
India
cannot
support
and
afford
that
kind
of
production
value.
Besides,
the
writing
is
so
good
there.
So,
I
wondered
if
we
can
really
adapt
it
without
compromising
on
the
quality.
"But
when
I
saw
the
first
season
of
24,
I
was
really
impressed
because
I
know
the
kind
of
budgets
they
are
working
on.
I
thought
that
as
a
production
house
and
team,
they
have
done
a
damn
good
job.
The
writing
is
not
as
good
as
in
the
west,
but
it's
not
bad
at
all,"
he
added.
