Akshay Kumar may be loaded with work but the actor says he manages to take several breaks in between his shooting schedules in order to rejuvenate himself.
Known for leading a disciplined life, Akshay, 46, who is gearing up for many releases in the next 12 months including his upcoming action thriller 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', says there is always room for a break if people plan their life properly.
"I plan in a right way... Like for instance I do three to films in a year but I still have six to seven holidays every year and people ask me how do I do that? I never work on Sundays. I take six-seven times holidays," Akshay told PTI.
"Every holiday consists of six-seven days. There is an annual holiday of a month. If you divide and work on it, if you actually sit with your calender, you can actually manage time. It is not a hard job," he added.
'Holiday' has reunited the actor with Sonakshi Sinha after 'Rowdy Rathore', 'Joker' and 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara'.
Directed by A R Murugadoss, the film holds a strong message against terrorism and aims to provide social awareness, the actor said. It is slated to release on June 6.
"I am playing an Army officer, who comes for a holiday and realises that the city in which he is staying has some kind of terrorism going on. I try to save the people with some of my army colleagues," he said.
"It is a must watch film because it educates you about real terrorism. The director, he has learnt a lot about it and hence educates you about it. He has got lots of real incidents and got them together in the film. So I would say it is a very intelligent thriller," he added.
