Actor Akshay Kumar feels that there are many similarities between him and director Aanand L Rai. On collaborating with Rai on `Raksha Bandhan` after `Atrangi Re`, Akshay said, "If I were to describe Aanand sir, it would be a warm hug. That`s what being around him feels like. He`s someone who I feel is very honest and passionate about his craft. Hence, he won`t make you do something which isn`t being honest to the character of film. What makes us click is that I feel we are very similar as people, simple living, love for food, can`t sit idle, even if it`s just Ludo, we play in our free time."
Akshay will be seen sharing screen space with Bhumi Pednekar in `Raksha Bandhan`, which is scheduled to release on August 11. To note, `Raksha Bandhan` marks Akshay`s second collaboration with Bhumi after their 2017 release `Toilet: Ek Prem Katha`.
