Akshay Oberoi

Trishul: I distinctly remember Amitabh Bachchan's brilliant entry scene with landmines blowing up behind him. I was truly enamoured by his personality and that he could carry off such a mind-blowing entry.

Rebel Without A Cause: James Dean is one of my idols. Here was a guy who showed so much vulnerability and rawness. His acting skills were excellent considering he was so young.

I Am Sam: Watching Sean Penn perform in this movie is what made me want to take up acting. There's a scene in the film where he has to lie to his daughter even though he wants to be honest and his daughter can see through his lies. It was suchu00a0 a difficult scene, performing two different emotions at the same time but he did it so well!

Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun: This was a vintage Rajshri film with their magic of love and family values. I specially loved the scene where Salman Khan makes an entry into the room on a chandelier! For years together, I had a fantasy to make such an entry but I knew that it was only meant for the screen and not to be enacted in real life.

Andaz Apna Apna: One of the first comedies I watched, this film was a laugh riot. My brother Rishabh and I knew every dialogue, word for word. I would always play Salman and my bro would play Aamir. I think it's one of the best comedies of our time!
