Akshay Oberoi on Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari: ‘It’s a delightful change with a twist’

Known for his intense and unconventional performances last few years in projects such as Fighter, Illegal 3, Broken News 2, Ghuspaithiya, and Kisko Tha Pata, Akshay Oberoi now embraces a lighter, more family-friendly character in the much-anticipated film, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film sees Oberoi portray a realistic boy-next-door role, unlike his previous dark and gritty characters.

Reflecting on this transition, the actor says stepping into the Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf-starrer has been an incredibly refreshing experience for him. “Over the last few years, I have explored intense, layered characters—roles that were dark, complex, and psychologically demanding. But this film allowed me to tap into a completely different energy. I play a warm, charming, and family-oriented character, which is a delightful change, but it also comes with a twist. I’m excited for audiences to see this side of me. This has been such a clutter breaker. The kind of roles that I am getting now are so different from the gritty ones before.”
