MUMBAI: Akshaye Khanna is one of the few actors in Bollywood who managed to create a huge impact with every single film of his. After Salman Khan, the actor has maintained his reputation as an eligible bachelor. He made an impactful debut in Himalaya Putra which also starred his late father Vinod Khanna. Today also happens to be Vinod Khanna’s 77th birth anniversary.
Akshaye Khanna said in an interview however that working with his father was a terrifying experience. He said, “There are certain people whom you shouldn't work with. My dad is one of them. Amitabh Bachchan is another. To stand in the same frame as them confidently is impossible. They've such an overpowering screen presence.It's very difficult to match my father on screen. It's that quality - either you have it or you don't have it. Very frankly I don't have it. I just don't have that kind of presence. There Are some actors who just wash you away on screen. My dad is one of them.”
He added, “I don't look anywhere close to my father... Not an option. I haven't ever thought about it (making a biopic on Vinod) so I can't say. But I think biopics by nature, I suppose as accurate as they can be, the better for an actor. It's very challenging as well as risky for an actor to portray a real-life character because you are portraying someone who actually existed. So, it becomes really difficult.”
