He said the cartoon was surprisingly violent despite being for children
The actor recreated iconic 'Tom & Jerry' stunts in films like 'Sabse Bada Khiladi' and 'Khiladi 420'
Actor Akshay Kumar, famous for performing his own daring stunts, has revealed a rather unexpected source of inspiration behind his high-octane action sequences - the cartoon 'Tom & Jerry'. Known as the Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay has always impressed audiences with his fearless moves in films like 'Blue', 'Holiday', and the 'Khiladi' series.
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla , the actor said that many of his action scenes are inspired by the cartoon duo Tom and Jerry.
'Do you know where I draw all this inspiration from? All the stunts I've done? You won't believe it, from 'Tom & Jerry',' Akshay said. '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. Each episode is 10 or 12 minutes long and packed with action. I've taken so much inspiration from it.'
He cited specific examples, saying, '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'.'
Akshay also added humorously, '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!'
On the work front, Akshay is set to appear in a special role as Lord Shiva in the upcoming Telugu film 'Kannappa', also featuring Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Vishnu Manchu. The film is set to release on June 27. He also has 'Welcome to the Jungle' and Priyadarshan's 'Bhooth Bangla', alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Paresh Rawal, in the pipeline.

Actor David Hekili Kenui Bell, known for ‘Lilo & Stitch' live-action remake, dies at 46 in Hawaii
David Hekili Kenui Bell, an actor recently seen in the live-action remake of 'Lilo & Stitch' and popular TV shows such as 'Magnum P.I.' and 'Hawaii Five-0', passed away recently. The actor breathed his last at the age of 46. David's sister, Jalene Kanani Bell, confirmed the news in an emotional Facebook post. A cause of death has not been announced, but Hawaii police have said that no foul play is suspected. 'It is with a heavy heart I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H. K. Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father (sic),' she wrote on Sunday. Bell had recently shared behind-the-scenes photos from the 'Lilo & Stitch' set on his Instagram, including a clip from his audition.

The film industry and entertainment was so exciting to him and I loved that he enjoyed the arts (sic),' his sister shared. She also reflected on his strong ties to Hawaiian culture and language. 'He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgin to da Max…made him a diamond in the rough. You can hear him over the PA system on arrival at Kona Airport where he loved working to create an awesome and safe customer experience (sic),'she wrote. Bell was originally from Kaimuki and attended Kalani High School. Before his death, he lived in Waimea and worked as an assistant airport superintendent at Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole.
