Akshay Oberoi, who plays the lead role in "Pizza", says that the forthcoming movie is not just about horror, it also has thrill elements in it.

"You will get a lot of thrill in the film. Horror is a part of the story, not the entire story. It's more of a suspense thriller," Akshay said in an interview here Tuesday.

Directed by Akshay Akkineni, "Pizza" also features Parvathy Omanakuttan, Dipannita Sharma and Arunoday Singh. It hits theatres July 18.

He feels the audience, who prefer different content over run-of-the-mill Bollywood offerings, would enjoy it.

"Pizza is a very different type of film. Those who like to watch films which are different from the normal Bollywood fare, it is for them. It is a thriller-horror film," Akshay said.

"I play a pizza delivery boy and Parvathy plays my wife. I go to a house to deliver a pizza and then unusual incidents trap me," he added.
