In a conversation with Rediff.com’s Raju Hegde, the actor had spoken about men’s DNA and said, “There is no man who isn’t lustful. When a man looks at a woman, his imagination is bound to run wild. A male’s DNA is composed such that he will stare at a woman. The catch is in how he behaves with the woman. Anyone who disagrees with this and says it depends on perspective is again trying to hide their lust because it is socially unacceptable to think free.”
On the work front, Akshay Kumar has lately been gearing up for the release of his next film, Prithviraj. The film is expected to hit the theatres on January 22, 2021, and the trailer has already garnered raving reactions from the audience. Prithviraj will be based on the life of Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan and is directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi.
