Bollywood's eternal 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar is making a titular comeback with the image of an action hero in most of his movies these days. While he made an action onscreen return with the movie 'Rowdy Rathore', he is making a befitting comeback to the 'Khiladi' franchise with his film 'Khiladi 786'.

While many actors fear of getting stereotyped, Akshay on the other hand is happy to enjoy this position in Bollywood. "Khiladi is my identity and I am proud to be associated with it for the past two decades. With all due respect, it's the eighth film in the franchise and that itself speaks for the popularity of the title," said Akshay.

He says that he doesn't take any defamatory stand with the tag and takes it in a pure sense, "The word 'Khiladi' means player in every sense of the term; it means athlete. It's wonderful to be called an athlete. I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action, I'm a guy who does my own stunts onscreen. And if you are trying to insinuate that player has any other meaning, then you are wrong," stated Akshay.

All excited, Akki and his team of 'Khiladi 786' are all set for their movie to release on December 7. Asin plays the female lead opposite Akshay.
