Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav is quite thrilled about his dad’s upcoming filmBlue, where Akki plays a champion swimmer who is always underwater hunting for treasure.

A close source tells, “Akshay knows Aarav will be kicked by the idea of his dad playing a champion swimmer and that too named Aarav after his son. In Aarav’s eyes, Akshay is the true hero. To watch his dad play a man of dubious morals and grey aspirations would be a new experience for Aarav.”

Director of Blue, Anthony talking about Akki’s screen name in Blue tells, “It’s true, Akshay plays a man who thinks getting what he wants is more important than how you get there. I wrote the character for Akshay. He was to be called Akshay Malhotra. But then when I saw that Akshay had tattooed his son’s name on his back I decided to change the character’s name to Aarav.”

Akshay Kumar’s last negative role was in Khiladi 420.
