&quot;We are making a film on martial arts. This is something which is very close to my heart. <img alt="Akshay Kumar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/akshay-kumar.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 373px;" /> It is still in scripting stage. We are trying to make the film as authentic as possible,&quot; Akshay told PTI over phone from UK. Before joining the film industry, Akshay studied martial arts in Bangkok. He then came back to Mumbai, where he started teaching martial arts. &quot;My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first then an actor,&quot; he said. However, Akshay is unlikely to act in the film that his company Hari Om Entertainment will produce. &quot;I don&#39;t know if there will be any suitable role for me in that,&quot; he said. Akshay&#39;s next release is Milan Luthria&#39;s &#39;Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara&#39;, a sequel to 2010 hit &#39;Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai&#39;. &quot;We are getting good response and I am happy about it. Considering it is a sequel of a hit film there was no pressure on me for this film. We all gave our best and now it is upto the audience to decide the fate of the film,&quot; he said. The film also stars Imran Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Sonali Bendre. It will release on August 15. Meanwhile, in a unique way of promoting a film, the makers of &#39;Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara&#39; promoted the film during the Indo-Pak Champions Trophy match in the UK, yesterday. &quot;It is always interesting to see India-Pakistan match. To see both the countries fight on the field is quite exciting. The experience was good... it was fun,&quot; Akshay said. Akshay travelled to Birmingham (UK) to watch the much anticipated India-Pakistan match which got disrupted yesterday due to rains. u00a0
