Akshay Kumar says he takes inspiration from Tom & Jerry for action sequences

Akshay spoke about what inspired his action scenes and said, “Do you know where I draw all this inspiration from? All the stunts I’ve done? You won’t believe it, from Tom & Jerry. I love watching Tom & Jerry, I think it’s the most violent show. It’s very violent, even though it’s apparently made for kids. If you actually see it, there’s so much action, it’s brutal. Each episode is 10 or 12 minutes long and packed with action. I’ve taken so much inspiration from it.”

Akshay Kumar calls Tom & Jerry violent, brutal

He added, “I remember Tom coming down from a helicopter, hanging and picking up Jerry — I did that in Sabse Bada Khiladi. Then Tom hanging from a plane — I recreated that in Khiladi 420. There’s another scene where Tom puts a hammock under a helicopter and both he and Jerry sit down and have a glass of wine — I did that in Khatron Ke Khiladi. You can actually get a lot of action ideas from Tom & Jerry. It’s the best action film I’ve ever seen. People watch it thinking it’s humorous, but it’s not. In one episode, Tom breaks the whole house with a bat. It’s so violent. Please understand — it’s a violent show you’re showing your kids!”
