In
his
close
to
three-decade-long
career
in
Hindi
film
industry,
Akshay
Kumar
has
established
himself
as
an
action
star,
a
pro
in
comedy
and
the
face
of
patriotic
movies,
but
the
actor
says
he
still
has
a
lot
to
offer
as
a
performer.
The
51-year-old
actor
said
he
does
not
want
to
get
pigeonholed
and
is
looking
for
opportunities
to
contribute
to
various
genres
in
cinema.
"I
have
a
long
way
to
go.
I
still
want
to
do
a
lot.
I
want
to
keep
on
working.
I
don't
want
to
stop
at
one
point
and
have
a
particular
image.
I
want
to
have
different
kind
of
images.
I'm
still
discovering
myself
and
have
a
lot
time
with
myself
to
do
so," Akshay
said
at
a
press
conference
here.
"I
have
'Housefull
4' and
then
I
am
doing
a
horror-comedy
and
then
there
is
'Sooryavanshi'.
I
want
to
do
different
kind
of
films
and
I'm
looking
for
opportunities,"
he
added.
Akshay
was
in
the
capital
along
with
actor
Parineeti
Chopra
and
director
Anurag
Singh
to
promote
their
upcoming
release,
Kesari.
The
film
is
based
on
Battle
of
Saragarhi,
which
was
fought
between
the
British
Indian
Army's
Sikh
Regiment
and
Afghan
tribesmen
in
1897.
Akshay
said
working
on
Kesari
was
an
emotional
experience
for
him
as
he
feels
a
strong
connect
with
the
love
warriors
and
soldiers
have
for
their
motherland.
"Making
this
film
was
an
emotional
experience.
Especially,
the
last
15
minutes
of
the
film
were
very
emotional.
But
it's
been
an
important
journey
for
me.
I
am
sure
it
is
going
to
be
an
emotional
experience
for
the
audience
as
well."
Kesari,
produced
by
Dharma
Productions,
Azure
Entertainment
and
Cape
of
Good
Films,
will
hit
the
theatres
on
Thursday.
