Akshay Kumar today is one of the most versatile actors present in bollywood in the present scenario. Be it comedy, action, emtions, drama, the actor does know how to raise the bars of acting in every genre. With movies like 'Baby', 'Special 26', 'Airlift', Akshay Kumar has given bollywood some of the greatest movies, recently.
From a waiter in Bangkok, to one of the greatest actors in Indian Cinema, today, Akshay Kumar has definitely travelled a long road. Without having any 'Godfather' to guide to, Akshay Kumar marked his own journey and stood as what he is today.
Akshay Kumar has been known to perform deathe defying stunts all by himself. Akshay Kumar had studied Martial Arts in Hong Kong before entering the Indian Cinema, and hence, he started utilizing his Martial Art skills in the movies giving us some great action sequences.
The talented 48 year old actor moved in the industry out of nowhere, and his very first movie, 'Saugandh', managed to come into the notice of various great directors. In his first movie, 'Saugandh', Akshay played the role of 'Shiva', a love interest of an arrogant landlord's daughter.
The film begins by presenting the character of Chaudhary Sarang, played by Mukesh Khanna, an extremely arrogant and powerful landlord, whose sister Chand falls in love with Shiva, a young man, belonging to one poor family in the town. When Sarang comes to know of their relationship, he mercilessly murders Shiva's entire family and his own sister in order of his pride. The only one surviving this incident is Shiva's pregnant sister Ganga, played by actress Rakhee. Ganga, in order to avenge for his family, takes an oath, that she will make Sarang bow his head, as that is one thing that he would never do. She challenges Sarang that she will have a son and Sarang will have a daughter and her son will become Sarang's son-in-law. Sarang accepts the challenge and declares that he will have her son killed when the time comes. Sarang also names his daughter after his sister Chand to prove his indifference.
The whole concept of the movie is based on rivalry between families and an oath of vengeance forms the entire gyst of the movie, hence naming it 'Saugandh.' The movie was directed by Raj Sippi and had other brilliant actors like Rakhi, Paintal, Mukesh Khanna.
The movie had some nice moments of romance, comedy and ofcourse action. The melodious Music by Anand-Milind in the movie is one of the great aspects of it.
Though, the movie could not do well in the boxoffice but Akshay's performance was largely appreciated by the critics as well as the audience.
Here is the video where one can see Akshay Kumar's great action skills in a fight scene in Saugandh.
Be it his first movie or his recent movie, Akshay Kumar truky stands out as an actor. Coming from a non filmy background, the actor here has given some serious professional goals. And not just professionaly, Akshay is a
champion in his personal life as well. With his recent trips with Wife Twinkle Khanna, Akshay is providing major personal goals as well.
