Akshay Kumar says he takes inspiration from Tom & Jerry for his action sequences: ‘It's the most violent show'
Akshay spoke about what inspired his action scenes and said, 'Do you know where I draw all this inspiration from? All the stunts I've done? You won't believe it, from Tom & Jerry. I love watching Tom & Jerry, I think it's the most violent show. It's very violent, even though it's apparently made for kids. If you actually see it, there's so much action, it's brutal. Each episode is 10 or 12 minutes long and packed with action. I've taken so much inspiration from it.'
He added, 'I remember Tom coming down from a helicopter, hanging and picking up Jerry — I did that in Sabse Bada Khiladi. Then Tom hanging from a plane — I recreated that in Khiladi 420. There's another scene where Tom puts a hammock under a helicopter and both he and Jerry sit down and have a glass of wine — I did that in Khatron Ke Khiladi. You can actually get a lot of action ideas from Tom & Jerry. It's the best action film I've ever seen. People watch it thinking it's humorous, but it's not. In one episode, Tom breaks the whole house with a bat. It's so violent. Please understand — it's a violent show you're showing your kids!'
Akshay will be seen in a special appearance as Lord Shiva in Vishnu Manchu and Mohan Babu's film Kannappa. The film also features cameos by Prabhas and Mohanlal and is scheduled to release in theatres on 27 June. Apart from this, Akshay also has Welcome to the Jungle and Priyadarshan's Bhooth Bangla in the pipeline, which also stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Paresh Rawal.

Amid Dating Rumours, Tom Cruise (63) And Ana De Armas (37) Spotted Holding Hands In US
and Ana de Armas are keeping everyone guessing. The two stars, who've been at the centre of dating rumours for a while now, were recently seen spending a cosy weekend together in Vermont, USA. In pictures making rounds online, they can be spotted walking hand-in-hand, looking relaxed and completely at ease in each other's company. I post these pictures coz it's the most recent appearance of Tom Cruise. If it's a romance or just a PR stunt I don't care, I'm here to support Tom as actor, I leave gossip to the tabloids. No judging, no hate. ????: #TomCruise and #AnaDeArmas in Vermont, USA. — Maverick ✈︎ ???????? (@BigCityKnight) July 29, 2025 Tom Cruise kept it casual in a navy T-shirt, denim and a baseball cap, while Ana paired a white tee with black skinny jeans. TMZ reported that they drove through a nearby National Park, went shopping and ended their outing with a stop for ice cream. Definitely sounds like a date. This Vermont outing came just days after the duo was seen together at an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium. As per Page Six, the two were spotted laughing, dancing, and even holding hands in the crowd. Fans at the show took note of the chemistry and could not help but wonder if there was more to their connection. The Tom Cruise-Ana de Armas buzz first started back in February when they were seen dining together in London. At the time, a source told People that it was a casual dinner with their agents and was strictly work-related. 'Potential collaborations down the line,' the source said, adding that the two 'appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.' Since then, though, sightings of the duo have only become more frequent – and a lot more affectionate. There has been no official word from either Tom or Ana, but from concerts to countryside strolls, they are definitely not staying under the radar. On the work front, Tom Cruise was last seen in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The Christopher McQuarrie directorial also featured Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg in key roles.
