‘Akshay Kumar is more successful actor than me’

Actor John Abraham, who starred with Akshay Kumar in films like Garam Masala, Housefull 2 and Desi Boyz, says the actor is a “self-made man” in Bollywood and is a “much more successful actor” than him.

“Akshay’s journey in the film industry has been very inspirational. He is a self-made man himself. He got into the industry in around 1985 and I got in around 2003, but our journey has been similar. Although he is a much more successful actor than I am and I respect him a lot,” said John. 

He also said that he learned about the comedy genre from Akshay.  “We have done three movies together - Garam Masala, Housefull 2 and Desi Boyz. 

I love comedy as a genre and whatever I have learned in comedy, it’s from him. That is the reason I call him ‘guruji’ and he calls me ‘sundi’,” he added.

John is currently gearing up for his forthcoming film Rocky Handsome, which will release on Friday.
