‘I had no money to go to any acting school’

Superstar Akshay Kumar, whose upcoming production venture The Shaukeens has three NSD graduates – Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Piyush Mishra – in the lead, says he could not afford to enrol himself in an acting school during his earlier days.

Akshay, 47, is also making a special appearance in the remake of the 1982 hit film of the same name apart from donning the producer's hat.

‘The lead in the film are all passed out from National School Of Drama but I am from NANSD which is Non actor National School Of Drama.I had no money to go to any acting school. There used to be many big acting schools but I couldn't afford those,’ Akshay said here during the trailer launch of the film.
