Actor Akshay Oberoi is entering an exciting phase in his career with a diverse slate of projects, headlined by King, where he shares screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, and an upcoming thriller alongside Manoj Bajpayee.
As he balances romance, psychological thrillers, crime dramas and action, the actor says the opportunity to work with some of the industry’s finest has made this chapter especially significant.
Speaking about this phase, Akshay Oberoi shared, “I genuinely feel like it’s crazy to think that I am working with Shahrukh and Manoj, the same year. They both are so diversely different in their craft and they. are the true masters of it, of what they do. What excites me the most is the sheer diversity of the worlds I’m entering”.
He further added, “First theres King, which one larger than life story, a magnum opus action. Then there’s the thriller film with Manoj Bajpayee sir, which is set in a gritty, crime-driven universe. Sharing screen space with someone of his calibre is both intimidating and inspiring. At the same time, being a part of King, one of the most anticipated projects in the country right now, feels incredibly surreal. On top of all this, making my South debut is a huge moment for me personally because South cinema is telling some of the most exciting stories in India today. I feel fortunate that filmmakers are trusting me with such varied characters, and I’m approaching every single project with gratitude, hunger and the desire to constantly evolve.”
