Superstar Akshay Kumar says he has no regrets whatsoever as an actor who has spent over two decades in Bollywood.

"I don't have any regrets (as an actor) and I am happy that I am in this industry. I look at my journey without any regret and anybody would love to be in my shoes.

"If I even had a bit of regret, then there is no point because of whatever god has given me, there is no space for regrets," Akshay told reporters here.

Akshay, who made his debut in 1987, has dabbled in myriad genres like action, comedy, romance and drama. But the "Khiladi" star says he is keen to be a part of a horror comedy.

"I want to do a horror comedy. I did 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', but then after that I didn't get a script like that," said the 48-year-old star.

The "Boss" star says that he wants to do a horror comedy because he enjoys the genre the most.

"I feel two different genres like horror which has a fear element and comedy which has laughter in it... To combine both of them together is very difficult. Only Mehmood was successful in that. I would like to do that genre again," added Akshay, who is currently promoting his forthcoming film "Rustom".

Talking about "Rustom", Akshay said: "This kind of a screenplay, script has never been written before. When a man goes the other way, his wife has to forgive. Nobody has shown when a woman goes the other way and comes back, then what happens."

Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, "Rustom", based on the K.M. Nanavati case, also stars Ileana D'Cruz and Esha Gupta.
