In an exclusive interview with Exhibit Magazine, Akshay discussed how technology has seamlessly integrated into various aspects of his life, including his fitness routines, but he also highlighted the importance of not letting it overshadow the benefits of physical activities and sports. He emphasized that while tech offers great convenience, real-world experiences hold a special place in his routine.

"Technology is an inseparable part of our lives today, and there’s no escaping its influence, whether in our films, fitness routines or personal lives. It’s incredible how it simplifies many aspects of life, from tracking fitness goals to staying connected with loved ones. However, as much as I enjoy playing online Ludo with friends/colleagues on set in between shots, I’d always choose a real game of volleyball or a physical workout session over any virtual activity. There’s something about the adrenaline in real-life sports that technology can never replicate. It’s all about striking the right balance, using tech to enhance our lives, but not letting it take over entirely," said Akshay.

For Akshay, the key lies in leveraging technology as a tool for enhancing life and fitness but never allowing it to replace the physical and emotional benefits of face-to-face interaction and active living. His love for physical sports like volleyball reflects his belief in the impact of real-life experiences.

Meanwhile, coming to his movie commitments, Akki has an interesting lineup of films in 2025. While he has already kicked off the year with Sky Force, the actor has C. Sankaran Nair biopic – Kesari: Chapter 2, Housefull 5, Bhooth Bangla, Welcome To the Jungle, Jolly LLB 3 among others in the pipeline. Hera Pheri 3 is also expected to have been announced.
