New Delhi, Feb 1: Stepping away from his usual comic and action roles, Akshay Kumar will be seen portraying a serious character in his upcoming movie “Special 26” and the actor says he is happy to reinvent himself. 


The 45-year-old, who plays a fake CBI person in the movie, said the role is different from what he has done earlier and was a challenge worth taking.  

“A con confident artiste is something I have never been offered before and I am happy to have got this opportunity.

I am very satisfied with the role and it was a challenge. But I am happy to get an opportunity to reinvent myself.”

The “Khiladi” actor said his director, Neeraj Pandey, had to convince him a lot to do the movie.

“There was a lot of convincing required from my director that is very important for me.

The director has to make me understand that I can do justice to the role because reading the script is not enough for me.

He should help me visualise the role and let me know how I fit in it,” Akshay, who was in the city to promote the film, said.

Also starring Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee, the film releases on February 8.
