In
his
successful
acting
career
of
close
to
25
years,
Akshay
Kumar
will
be
seen
in
a
Tamil
film
for
the
first
time,
something
which
the
actor
is
very
proud
of.
Akshay
will
be
seen
in
the
Tamil
film
Enthiran
2
aka
2.0,
starring
superstar
Rajinikanth
in
the
lead.
The
Hindi
star
will
be
playing
the
main
antagonist
in
the
Shankar-directed
movie.
"I
am
very
glad
that
I
am
the
first
(male)
actor
to
go
and
do
a
Tamil
film.
I
am
very
happy.
And
I
am
grateful
to
them
to
get
me
and
put
me
there...
Which
other
male
actor
has
gone
there?" Akshay
asks.
"You
don't
get
it
(the
roles).
Down
south
they
take
our
heroines
but...I
am
happy
that
I
am
doing
it.
I
would
love
to
break
this
myth
and
do
South
Indian
films."
Akshay,
who
has
of
late
been
part
of
socially
relevant
films,
said
Enthiran
2
carries
a
message
with
it
too.
"I
liked
the
story
of
Robot
2...
Let
me
just
give
you
one
little
sneak
peak.
It
teaches
you
something.
There
is
a
message
in
Robot
2.
I
loved
the
script."
The
actor,
however,
said
it
is
too
early
to
comment
if
the
film
will
be
bilingual.
"Still
one
year
is
left
(for
release).
Movie
has
started
but
we
are
still
doing
the
work...
Within
a
month
I'll
start
shooting,"
he
said.
There
were
reports
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
was
offered
the
role
of
the
antagonist
in
Enthiran
but
Rajinikanth
advised
the
star
actor
not
to
do
it
as
his
fans
will
lot
like
him
playing
a
negative
character.
When
asked
if
there
was
any
apprehension
with
regards
to
that,
Akshay
said,
"My
fans
are
very
intelligent."
The
actor,
known
for
his
action
and
comedy,
has
received
critical
appreciation
for
his
negative
roles
too
in
Hindi
films
like
Ajnabee.
When
asked
about
this,
Akshay
quipped,
"there
is
no
lobbying
for
awards
amongst
villains."
