Mumbai, August 28: Akshay Kumar`s son Aarav is excited about his father`s film `Blue` where the Bollywood star plays a greedy, ruthless guy who spends most of his time underwater looking for treasure.
“Akshay knows Aarav will be kicked by the idea of his dad playing a champion swimmer and that too named Aarav after his son. In Aarav`s eyes, Akshay is the true hero. To watch his dad play a man of dubious morals and grey aspirations would be a new experience for Aarav,” a source told reporters.
Akshay has earlier played a negative character in “Khiladi 420”. But that was a double role with one of the twins turning evil. Besides Aarav wasn`t born when it was released.
“It`s true, Akshay plays a man who thinks getting what he wants is more important than how you get there. I wrote the character for Akshay. He was to be called Akshay Malhotra. But then when I saw that Akshay had tattooed his son`s name on his back I decided to change the character`s name to Aarav,” said Anthony D`Souza, who has directed “Blue”.
