Akshay Kumar was said to be a staunch rival of
Shah Rukh Khan and the other Khans too, but the actor in a latest interview has clarified that there is more similarity between him and SRK than other actors.
In an interview given to a news portal, Akshay Kumar exclaimed, "Shah Rukh Khan and I are the only actors in the current times who have attained this level of success all on our own, without any Godfather backing us. We came without any connections in Bollywood and still have managed to reach this stage by sheer hard work and determination."
When asked 'Who amongst the two was superior?' Akki chose to be at his silent best and refused to comment.
Though one can't tag Akshay to be a SRK loyalist just on the basis of this statement but one can very well say that in Akki's opinion, it's only SRK besides him who deserves to be where he is at the moment. Right Akshay?
He chooses to shrug away the 'who amongst the two is supreme' talk when the question is raised around his rap number in
Chandni Chowk To China. In the song composed by Bohemia which would play during the film's end credit titles, there are a few lines that go as:
"Mera Ek Haath Ka Khel, Sara Bollywood Ek Mera Koi Nahi Mel,
Acting Karne Chale Vaise Hazaaron, Badsaah Ek Baaki Sare Fail"
Is this the superstar talking for himself? "But if you listen carefully, am I bringing in the 'superstar' angle at all? And there is a lot of other stuff which is being talked about in the song, especially the parts around me coming from the Chandni Chowk lanes and beating the odds to live life on my own terms. Where does he question around me reigning supremacy come in? In any case, a rap number belonging to such situation and genre is all about attitude and this is what is demonstrated in the entire song. Let's not make much ado about it", protests Akshay.
