"Action has changed so much in Bollywood. I just try learning new things all the time," he said.

"I think no better launch for me than 'Rowdy Rathore'.

It is a raw action film directed by one of the best action directors, Prabhu Deva. The action in this film is different?it is raw action, which I have never did. I have always done martial arts and more technicality of action. But this is a street fight," he said.

When the promos of 'Rowdy Rathore' were out, similarities were drawn with Salman Khan starrer 'Dabangg'.

"When our film is compared to a super hit film then its a good thing. It is good that the film is not compared with a flop one," Akshay said.

Releasing on June 1, 'Rowdy Rathore' produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and directed by Prabhudeva also stars Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.
