Manoj Kumar's admirations for Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar! Fri April 13th, 2018

Well-known veteran actor Manoj Kumar, nicknamed Bharat Kumar, is very content to see of two of today's megastars Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan carrying forward the work that he started 45 years ago.

While Akshay is doing what Manoj, now 81, describes as the kind of cinema he believes in, cinema that changes society, Salman is doing a movie called "Bharat", the character that Manoj patented by playing the hero of that name in the 1970s' classics "Upkar", "Purab Aur Paschim" and "Roti Kapda Aur Makaan".

"It's not as if I had any copyright claims over the name Bharat. Anyone and everyone is

Bharat. I am happy that superstars like Salman and Akshay are playing heroes who can bring about a social awakening, a new dawn, naya Bharat," Manoj revealed.

In fact, in the late 1970s, Manoj wanted to make a movie titled "Naya Bharat" featuring him with Rajesh Khanna.

Recently, he feels "Naya Bharat" can be made with Salman and Akshay.

"If you are sincere to your work, and if you are sincere in your desire to bring about change in society, the audience will embrace your efforts. I see an honesty in Salman and Akshay's work that cannot go unrewarded," revealed the veteran, who wants to direct another movie soon.
