'I'm excited to shoot with Akshay again'

Star talk

Actor Amy Jackson, who has teamed up with superstar Rajinikanth for ‘2.0’, says he gets nervous with the media and attention.

“Rajinikanth is a very quiet, humble and soulful person. We were shooting a scene that involved me and him. I was very excited and when I told him this, he said he was nervous. I was surprised. He admitted he gets nervous about the media and the attention. I told him he is a superstar but he said he still gets nervous,” Amy told reporters.

“As a person, he has sustained in the field for many years and he is still at the top. He is humble and focused on his work. That is important,” said the actor.

In director S Shankar’s ‘2.0’, Rajinikanth will reprise the role of Dr Vaseegaran and Chitti while Akshay Kumar, who is the new addition to the movie, plays a villain in the second instalment of ‘Robot’.

“I haven’t started filming with Akshay yet. I have had all my sequences with Rajinikanth. He is a very quiet person while Akshay comes across as the exact opposite; he is lively and keeps cracking jokes. I am excited to shoot with Akshay again,” said Amy, a British model and actor, who has acted in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu films.

Talking about her journey from the United Kingdom to Bollywood, she said, “It has been crazy and amazing. I had never thought I would work with Akshay and Rajinikanth and would get to associate with these talented people.” Having acted in both South Indian and Hindi films, Amy says her fluency in Tamil is quite good.

“My Hindi is ok. I think I am better at Tamil. I remember the Tamil words,” she added.
