Sylvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme can breathe a sigh of relief. While Dev Patel says he would love to do more action roles, he does not think he will be treading on any toes by following in their footsteps.
"It'd be fun to do another physical film. But I don't think I'm going to be the next Steven Seagal or anything like that," said Dev.
The former Skins star, 20, flexes his acting muscles and his martial arts skills in The Last Airbender, which is based on a Nickelodeon cartoon. Dev, who has a black belt in taekwon-do, plays Prince Zuko. He landed the part in the blockbuster soon after the success of his first film Slumdog Millionaire and decribes it as his introduction to Hollywood.
"Coming from Slumdog, doing such a small film.
"Whereas on this, the costume, the green screen and the fight sequences. I had my own army on this film. The scale was just immense," said Dev.
