Akshay Kumar packs a real punch

Bollywood’s original khiladi Akshay Kumar wants to take things up a notch with regard to his action scenes. For his upcoming film Brothers, based on the sport of boxing, the actor insisted on having real punches. So the blood squirting and moans that you’ll witness on the screen may just be the real deal.

Says a source from the unit, “Director Karan Malhotra believes in authentic action. The violence in his previous film Agneepath was dark and brutal too. But he wanted to take the violence to the next level with Brothers, so none of the boxing scenes are faked. Besides, Akshay wanted it to be real too. He wanted it to be the first authentic boxing film from India.”
