Known for balancing intense work commitments with his love for travel and family, Akshay has planned an extensive June itinerary with his loved ones, covering destinations including London, Paris, Ghana, New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Francisco and several more cities across the globe.

The actor, who has an exciting slate ahead with Toxic, a film alongside Manoj Bajpayee which was earlier titles Ghooskhor Pandat, King and Two Zero One Four featuring Jackie Shroff, shared that this trip is particularly special because he wants to spend uninterrupted quality time with his son before promotions and shoots take over his schedule again.

Speaking about the tour, Akshay Oberoi said, “The second half of 2026 is going to be extremely hectic for me with all my films releasing one after another, so I consciously wanted to take this time out with my family. This trip is honestly my calm before the chaos. As actors, we are constantly moving from one set to another, one city to another, but rarely do we get to travel with no agenda except making memories with the people we love. My son is growing up so fast and I don’t want to miss these moments with him.”

He further added, “Travel has always been deeply therapeutic for me. I love exploring new cultures, meeting people, trying local food, walking around unknown streets and just absorbing experiences. This world tour is also a bucket-list journey for me because some of these places have been on my travel wishlist for years. Once July begins, it’s going to be non-stop promotions, shoots and releases, so I wanted June to be about family, discovery and living in the moment.”

Speaking about his look in Toxic, Akshay shared, “The retro moustache and classic hairstyle weren’t just styling choices. They were inspired by the timeless style and charisma of the stars from the ’70s. I’ve always admired the effortless screen presence of actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, and Danny Denzongpa. There was something incredibly powerful and distinctive about that era, and I wanted to capture a bit of that spirit through my character.”

He further added, “The moment I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt transported to another time. The look helped me step into the world of the film and brought an old-school charm to the character. Every detail, from the hairstyle to the moustache, was thoughtfully designed. It’s rooted in nostalgia while still feeling relevant for today’s audience. I hope people who love classic Hindi cinema enjoy this little tribute.”

With Toxic generating immense anticipation, Akshay Oberoi’s retro transformation has already sparked curiosity among fans. His look celebrates the unforgettable style and cinematic legacy of the 1970s while bringing a timeless flavour to a modern-day film.

He is an actor I have admired for years, and being part of the same project gave me the chance to observe and learn a great deal. Now that the dubbing is complete and the film is moving towards its final stages, there is naturally a sense of excitement. We have all put a lot of effort into this project, and I’m genuinely looking forward to watching the finished product and, eventually, sharing it with the audience.

Speaking about the project, Akshay Oberoi shares, “I’ve always been drawn to stories that challenge me as an actor, roles that demand emotional depth, unpredictability, and a bit of risk. ‘Resident’ is exactly that kind of film. It’s a psychological thriller that doesn’t just rely on fear or suspense, but digs deep into the psyche of its characters. The genre itself is dark, layered, and inevitable in its impact, it makes you confront truths you often avoid. After Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which had a completely different tone, I wanted to immerse myself in something intense and thought-provoking. Film ‘Resident’ gives me that opportunity, and I can’t wait to begin this new journey.”

With ‘Resident’, Akshay continues to strengthen his reputation as one of the few actors in the industry who constantly experiments with roles that break away from the mainstream mold. His commitment to variety and depth has made him one of the most exciting performers to watch in today’s cinematic landscape.

Recalling the journey, Akshay shared an emotional anecdote, “I remember back in 2014, during the promotions of my film Pizza, I happened to see the trailer of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania for the very first time. I was instantly struck by its scale, freshness, and the visual appeal Shashank Khaitan brought to the screen. Sitting there, I made a silent wish that someday I would get the chance to work with him. At the time, it felt like a far-off dream, but I held on to that thought. And here we are, ten years later, and that wish is finally becoming a reality with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Working under Shashank’s direction and being part of a Dharma Productions film with such a talented ensemble cast feels both surreal and gratifying. It reminds me that sometimes the universe listens to the smallest, quietest dreams we nurture, and rewards us when the time is right.”

With Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Akshay Oberoi continues to add to his diverse filmography, reinforcing his presence in both mainstream blockbusters and content-driven cinema.
