Currently in Dubai shooting for Anees Bazmee's Welcome -- where he stars with Anil Kapoor, Mallika Sherawat and Katrina Kaif -- Akshay still can't get over New York.
"Jaan-E-Mann was my first New York film; we shot 50-60 percent of the film there. And the whole look is completely different," he gushes. "I've shot all over the world, in many other countries, but New York is something else. The director wanted New York, and it's such a big backdrop. It's really come out excellently. Just the kind of thing we wanted."
Another thing Akshay feels has turned out perfect is Anu Malik's soundtrack. The actor actually breaks into lines of song as he highlights his favourite tracks Humko maloom hai and Ajnabi. "What I like about the music is that it has romance. Today's music has just got rhythm; it's all only beats. And I really appreciate the fact that Anu didn't go for the bang-bang sound. Here we have smoothness and genuine melody, and I personally think Hindi cinema is losing out on that."
