Sex comedies are not often appreciated by the masses, but Akshay said: "Nobody is forcing you to watch such films.

"If I get a good script, I will also do it. At the end of the day, it's just a film. It's just a character that you are following. You do not become a sex maniac or anything as such. Take a film as a film let it be reel not real," the 46-year-old told reporters in a group interview.

"If it's a sex comedy don't feel shy what the audience will think and all! If you are making such a film, trust yourself and go with your conviction rather than thinking about you will lose few audience with this film."
His body of work includes Garam Masala, which he describes as a sex comedy. Directed by Priyadarshan Garam Masala featured Akshay and John Abraham in the lead and it was a box office success.
He said: "I think sex comedy is a very good genre. I did it long back. I would put Garam Masala in the same zone."
