Sajid Khan is all praises for his friend Akshay Kumar. The filmmaker has worked with the ‘Khiladi’ actor in three films, and he seems to be very impressed by Akshay Kumar. Sajid says Akshay is perhaps the best comedy actor Bollywood has.



Sajid Khan talks about his bond with Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, how only eye co-ordination works at times, “I am glad that I have worked with Akshay in three films, and now, I’m doing one more film with him. He is the most gifted comedy actor we have in this generation. Then, there is Ritiesh [Deshmukh]. The most beautiful thing is that they know my timing. Sometimes, I don’t even have to tell them how I want to direct them. Just the eye coordination works for us.”



Sajid Khan admits that directing a comedy film is the most difficult as that genre needs a lot of division, “It is the most difficult thing. Laughter is so subdivided. What makes a five year old laugh may not appeal to me and you. The most important thing is having great comic actors.”



Sajid Khan and Akshay Kumar have collaborated together in films like ‘Heyy Baby’, ‘Housefull’ and ‘Housefull 2’ and they are going to team up for the fourth time in ‘Housefull 4’.
