'Baby' to spread awareness about terrorism: Akshay Kumar

After impressing audiences and critics
with his army officer act in "Holiday:
A
Soldier Is Never Off Duty" in 2014,
Bollywood's action star Akshay Kumar
is once again broaching the subject of
terrorism in his forthcoming film
"Baby".
He says the intent is to
discuss these issues "openly" to
spread awareness.

If "Holiday..." was about sleeper cells,

"Baby" revolves around a story about how
the common man in India faces a threat
from terrorists and how the government
tries to prevent such attacks.
In a tete-a-tete with IANS, Akshay,
looking casual in a sweatshirt, jeans and a
beanie, opened up about the movie and
his action avatar.

"I'm playing an undercover agent in the
film.
We are a group named Baby, which
includes Anupam Kher, Rana Daggubati
and a few other actors."

Akshay is happy with the end result of
the film, directed by Neeraj Pandey, who
had helmed "A Wednesday!", a movie
that was about the impact of terrorism on
the common man.

'Baby' is a well-carved film.
It talks about
terrorism, which is a big consideration in
today's world.
Terrorism, as a topic, can
be seen in every newspaper. So we
thought of making people aware about it.
The film talks very openly about it. The
story of 'Baby' is inspired by various real
life incidents," he said.
The movie will see Akshay packing in a
punch as far as his action scenes are
concerned.
