Aditya Seal, a prominent name in the Indian film industry, is busy with a slew of projects, from Hardik Gajjar’s “Amar Prem” to the Kajol-starrer “Maharagni: Queen of Queens.” However, the project that fills him with the most excitement is his collaboration with Akshay Kumar in Mudassar Aziz’s comedy-drama film “Khel Khel Mein.”
The actor, noted for his performances in films like “Tum Bin 2” (2016) and “Student of the Year 2” (2019), describes working with Akshay Kumar as “an incredible experience.” Seal holds a deep admiration for Kumar, who he regards as an industry stalwart. “Akshay is not just a superstar but an industry stalwart whose work I have admired for years. His filmography, from romance and biopics to drama, sports, and action, is unparalleled. He has dabbled in almost every genre with remarkable ease and success,” he praises.
But Seal’s connection to Akshay Kumar goes beyond the professional. His father has long been an admirer of Kumar, especially for his action sequences. Seal’s father even took him to Bangkok at a young age to train in martial arts, hopeful that his son would one day follow in Kumar’s footsteps. “My father has been a fan of Akshay’s action. To let me walk in Akshay’s footsteps, my father took me to Bangkok when I was young to stay and learn martial arts. Working with him now [feels like] a full-circle moment,” the actor reveals.
Akshay Kumar, whose career spans over three decades, is lauded for his versatility. From intense drama to rib-tickling comedy, Kumar has excelled in various genres, making him a favorite among fans and peers alike. For Seal, the chance to share screen space with such a multifaceted actor felt like a dream come true.
The project “Khel Khel Mein,” directed by Mudassar Aziz, is a comedy-drama that promises to be a hit among fans of the genre. With Aziz’s proven track record of delivering humorous yet thought-provoking stories and the on-screen chemistry between Seal and Kumar, the film has generated significant buzz even before its release. Seal recalls the lively atmosphere on set, stating that it was filled with laughter and learning. “Every day on set was a learning experience.
. Observing Akshay Sir’s dedication and energy was inspiring,” he adds.
Seal’s admiration for Kumar is shared by his father, making this professional collaboration profoundly meaningful for both Seal and his family. “It’s extraordinary to work with someone you’ve looked up to for so long. My father was overjoyed when he heard I would be working with Akshay Sir. It was like his dream for me had come true,” Seal shares. This sense of familial pride and gratitude is evident in Seal’s recounting of his experiences on the set.
Apart from “Khel Khel Mein,” Seal’s commitment to his craft is evident in his busy schedule. With projects like “Amar Prem” and “Maharagni: Queen of Queens” in his pipeline, Seal is on the rise in Bollywood. These projects, while diverse in their genres, showcase Seal’s versatility as an actor. “Each project offers something unique, allowing me to explore different facets of my acting abilities,” Seal explains.
In “Amar Prem,” directed by Hardik Gajjar, Seal is set to take on a role that differs vastly from his past performances. The film promises to be a poignant narrative, and Seal is eager to show a new side of his acting prowess. Meanwhile, “Maharagni: Queen of Queens,” starring Kajol, positions Seal in an ensemble cast that promises a gripping storyline filled with strong performances.
Despite his busy schedule, Seal’s experience working with Kumar in “Khel Khel Mein” stands out as a career highlight. The sentimentality attached to this project, combined with the professional growth he experienced, makes it exceptionally special. “Working with Akshay Sir has been a milestone in my career. It’s not just about sharing screen space; it’s about the knowledge and experience I’ve gained from him,” Seal concludes.
As Aditya Seal continues to carve out his niche in Bollywood, his admiration for Akshay Kumar and the lessons learned from this collaboration will undoubtedly influence his future projects. For now, the actor revels in the joy of having realized a dream he and his father held dear, looking forward to what the future holds in his burgeoning career.
