Akshay Kumar is keen on making a film on a strong female character

It is not just the ladies in Bollwyood who are keen on doing strong female characters; superstars like Akshay Kumar is also interested in making movies revolving around powerful woman-centric roles. In an interview with a daily, the actor talked about the importance of ‘heroines’ in cinema and how he has been planning on making a film on a strong female character but nothing's materialised yet.

Akshay revealed that he was in talks with his co-star Nimrat Kaur from the hit movie ‘Airlift’ but nothing worked out. He went on to add that it’s high time the film industry started giving respect to their actresses as he feels that just like a hero, even heroines play crucial role in films.

The National Award winner shared that as an actor and producer, he receives tons of scripts every day, some of them are good and some are not. However, he really liked a script on dowry that had come his way but a script needs to have everything right and that is yet to happen. The superstar went on to add that looking for a good script is like fishing where you cast your net and wait; outstanding work comes once in a while.

But, the ‘PadMan’ actor confirmed that he has been discussing with his team about making a film where a woman is at the heart of it.

Interestingly, in an attempt to empower women, the actor has a martial arts school where he encourages girls and young women to take up self-defense classes.
