Akshay Kumar who is back to doing action films this year has been refusing to do comedies if reports are to be believed. Apparently, when director Priyadarshan offered the action king Billoo Barber, Akshay who was busy with Chandni Chowk To China Town turned down the film.

Priyadarshan then approached Shah Rukh Khan who agreed to launch the film as his home production. Sources claim that when Priyadarshan once again approached Akshay with another comedy script, Akshay begged out of the film citing reasons that he wasn’t doing comedy this year.

Naturally, the director was disappointed to know that Akshay wasn’t doing the film. Since the duo had worked together in hits like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiya and Bhagam Bhag, Priyadarshan was keen to work with Akshay in a comedy again. But the action king is keen on doing only action films and all because of his four year old son Aarav. Aarav loves action and likes watching his dad fly around like a superhero.

His forthcoming film Chandni Chowk To China Town has Akshay performing great stunt scenes on the Great Wall Of China. Roger Yuan from Shanghai Knights will be one of Akshay’s adversaries in the sequence. Even in Vipul Shah’s Singh Is Kinng, Akshay is in full action mode.
