MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar returns to cinemas with Sarfira this week. Akshay plays an intense role in the drama film, which is helmed by Sudha Kongara. The actor has also experimented with the action genre and appeared in several comedy films. When asked which movie of his career has been the hardest, Akshay named Priyadarshan's 2005 release Garam Masala in an interview with the popular news portal.
Akshay began by saying, “Toughest? Honestly, the toughest was Garam Masala! I used to pant while doing it because Priyan [Priyadarshan, the director] Sir used to take long, long shots. It was more like a play. Though it was… I am dating four women at one time, and they are all in that house only. It used to be so much… I found that to be one of the most difficult films to do.”
He added, “Every time, I don't know how I will make you understand this, there is an expression change in each and every sentence… because you are in front of this girl and you are saying this, and suddenly she turns back, and then you look at another girl, and then with her you have to be a different character. Because she expects something else from me. Then she goes and Paresh Rawal comes and he had a different dynamic. So he used to take all of this in one shot. There are many shots which are like 10 minutes long. I would find doing action, or dance easier than these things because this is real concentration- physical as well as mental.”
Starring in Garam Masala were Rajpal Yadav, John Abraham, Paresh Rawal, Rimi Sen, and Neha Dhupia. The central theme of the comedy film was Makarand "Mac" Deendayal Chatpatiya, played by Akshay, who dates multiple women simultaneously. When Shyam Salgaonkar "Sam" (Abraham), his friend, finds out about his behavior, chaos erupts. In 2005, around Diwali, the movie was released.
