Born in Britain, Amy Jackson's tryst with films began down South. However, the English beauty, who was soon imported to Bollywood, is in no hurry to sign up a barrage of projects. Instead, she's taking it slow and steady. Her next is an enviable project, where she shares the frame with Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar. Amy gives us the lowdown on that. Excerpts:
In October, you completed shooting for your scenes with Rajinikanth...
(Cuts in) Rajinikanth is an absolute legend to work with. Imagine meeting him every day and spending time with him on the set. Sharing the frame with him is a lifetime experience; there's a reason he is called a legend.
What about Akshay Kumar, who launched you in Bollywood?
Akshay and I will shoot for our portions together now, we didn't have anything together in the earlier schedules. It's so much fun to reunite with him on screen. He's an excellent co-star; this is my second film with him and it only gets better as you go along.
It was said that you introduced Akshay to the bigwigs in the South industry...
I didn't introduce him to the guys down South. He's too famous to require my help, they knew him anyway.
It's rumoured that you helped Shankar find a suitable villain in Akshay for his sci-fi sequel...
(Laughs) No way! It's true that they were considering Arnold for the part that Akshay is playing, but I think Akkie is better than Arnie. He's brilliant; he's got that Bollywood pull and it works very well for the film. Also, he's pulled off his part so well.
What about your next film in Bollywood?
I will announce it soon. Wait and watch!
