He may be playing a spoilt son in his forthcoming film Waqt – A Race Against Time , but Akshay Kumar is a very dutiful son in his real life.

Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Akshay, who has withstood hits and flops to complete fifteen years in Bollywood, says he is dedicating his next film ‘Waqt’ to his father.

''I am dedicating this film to my father,'' he said. ''I have bought the distribution rights not to make money but to pay tributes to my father,'' Akshay said.

Akshay, whose films have spanned action thrillers to comedies, said he is eagerly awaiting the film's release, as he has found a film, which he is personally passionate about.

He stressed every father and son should watch this film. “It is such a subject that it actually occurs in all of our families. And, it really amazes me that a subject like this has not been touched earlier”, he said.

There have been many films on the father-son relationship, but none of the films have ever explored this ''very vital angle'', Akshay said.

Mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan , who plays Akshay’s father in ‘Waqt’ lauded the innovative manner in which the human element of the father-son relationship has been brought forth by the film.

Bachchan said his role is not very challenging but director Vipul Shah has tackled the character in a very interesting way.

Vipul’s wife Shefali Shah, who plays Bachchan’s wife in the film, said she was thrilled at playing the wife's character opposite Big B. “I have learnt a lot about acting while playing the character with him”, she said.

Priyanka Chopra said her character in the film is not very glamorous but she is satisfied with her role.

‘Waqt’ is about a father who is ready to do anything for his son. He shows the world and life to his son, but when the time comes for the son to stand on his own feet, the father doesn't have time to let that happen.
