Akshay Oberoi is currently one of the busiest actors in Bollywood and will be a part of several big-budget movies. He was recently seen in the web series ‘Flesh’, which showed him in a completely different light. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Akshay talked about the gory scenes in Flesh and revealed how his wife refused to share a bed with him for a few days after watching it.
What did Akshay Oberoi say about Flesh?
While talking about the show, he said, “We had done a show called Flesh together. It stars Swara Bhasker and I, where I was the antagonist. It was one of my favourite roles, this transvestite, flesh trade owner. Khookhaar aadmi tha woh.”
He acknowledged that The Flesh was difficult to watch at times. Talking about his wife’s reaction, he said, “Yeah, I don’t blame you at all. My wife refused to share a bed with me for a lot of weeks after watching it. It is very difficult to watch. But it was a very good show. A lot of people never watched it. They (producers) said, ‘We really loved working with you on that. We’ll do something together, we promise.’ But aise log baat karte hain industry mein yaar. No one actually comes through with that kind of thing. And they came back to me with Fighter.”
What are Akshay Oberoi’s next projects?
Akshay will be seen in King along with Shah Rukh Khan. Sharing his experience of working in King, he said, “It’s just so awesome that they took me back in King. That’s the most ambitious film being made in Hindi right now.” The movie also marks Akshay’s third film with Deepika after Fighter and Piku.
He will also be seen in Toxic with Yash, Tara Sutaria, Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi.
