Since Akshay got so busy perfecting his karate chops on unsuspecting props, film after film, seeing him play a mild-mannered, introvert business tycoon in Yeh Dillagi was a refreshing change.
Besides his obvious chemistry with Saif Ali Khan, who played his kid brother in Yash Raj Films' desi remake of Sabrina, Akki made a fabulous pair with Kajol. Surprisingly, they haven't been cast opposite ever since.
The actor played an extension of his righteous character, sans the glasses, in Dharmesh Darshan's Dhadkan (2000) as well. In this gap of seven years, however, Akshay's dialogue delivery and restraint skills had acquired a detectable degree of polish.
