Actor
Kunal
Kapoor,
who
is
working
with
Akshay
Kumar
for
the
first
time
in
Gold,
says
he
has
immense
respect
for
Akshay
as
he
is
very
dedicated
towards
his
work.
"Akshay
is
someone
that
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for.
I
can't
think
of
many
actors
that
have
constantly
reinvented
themselves
the
way
he
has," Kunal
told
IANS.
"From
being
the
country's
biggest
action
star
to
the
king
of
comedy
and
now
putting
his
weight
behind
socially
relevant
films,
and
stories
that
very
few
actors
would
have
the
courage
to
back.
He
is
warm,
supportive
and
great
fun
to
be
around.
"What
I
really
like
about
him
is,
he
takes
his
work
very
seriously,
but
not
himself
or
his
stardom.
He
never
lets
you
feel
like
you
are
working
with
such
a
huge
star,"
added
the
actor.
"It
is
about
time
that
we
started
celebrating
our
real
life
heroes.
As
a
country,
we
have
such
an
incredible
history,
and
so
many
fascinating
stories
to
tell.
And
as
an
actor,
I
am
grateful,
that
I
have
a
chance
to
be
part
of
some
of
those
stories,"
he
added.
Gold
is
directed
by

Kagti,
the

India's
first
Olympic
medal
win

1948

Games

London.
