Akshay and Sidharth in a still from Brothers
Mumbai:
Bollywood actor Siddharth Malhotra said that Akshay Kumar has done a commendable job by training women in self-defence.
The Khiladi actor has launched a martial arts school in Mumbai, to train women in self-defence.
Akshay and Sidharth will soon be seen in the upcoming film Brothers.
At a promotional event of their film, Sidharth said: "It is highly commendable what Akshay Kumar is giving back to the society, especially to women. He is a great martial arts artist and has taught them that. Girls will kick the guys who mess with them. We will go on the graduation day to give certificates and I am excited about it."
Akshay said that Sidharth will join him while handing over the certificates. "In a few days, I will be giving certificates to 600 women as I have finished training them. Altogether we have finished training 4,000 women. I know it is a small number, but it is a good initiative as they have gained confidence apart from defending themselves," Akshay said.
The actor said that he has taught them only basics and not Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as it takes time. "It is not about teaching them MMA but only the basics. Training them in MMA will take a lot of time and these are women who are working and they don't have enough time," added Akshay.
At the launch event of a game which is based on the movie, Sidharth said, "It is very exciting that they have come up with a game like this. I saw how the characters look in the game and they have made a lot of effort to make it like the film. I have played some portions of the game and I enjoyed it."
The Ek Villain actor said that he prefers playing outdoor games whenever he gets time. However, he loved seeing himself in the game. "It is a fun boy kind of a moment. Playing games on the desktop and the play station and then having a game with your name is exciting," he added.
Directed by Karan Malhotra, Brothers is an action-drama, based on Mixed Martial arts (MMA) The film is an official remake of the 2011 Hollywood film Warrior, and also features Jacqueline Fernandez.
Brothers is scheduled to release on August 14.
