Tom & Jerry is not comedy; Tom & Jerry is action; it’s violence.” Speaking about his action movies, Kumar added, “I’ll tell you one secret. So many action (scenes) I have done a lot of times I have taken it from Tom & Jerry .
That whole helicopter scene, I have taken it from Tom & Jerry .” A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) A post shared by Fardeen F Khan (@fardeenfkhan) Kumar then revealed that he also took inspiration from National Geographic. “And another one from which I had taken is National Geographic, where you get to see great action.
