Manish Paul is one of Bollywood's most successful television hosts. The TV personality, who is best known for his sense of humour, will play a filmmaker in the upcoming satire, Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive.

In an interview for the promotion of Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive yesterday, Manish spoke about actors who had great comic timing.

"I think Steve Martin in Hollywood is one of the finest comic actors we have. If we talk about someone in Bollywood who has an excellent comic timing, it has to be Akshay Kumar. He is unbeatable in the comedy genre. Even Amitabh Bachchan has a great comic timing. So yes, these are the one's who inspired me to be an actor."

"Given a chance, I would love to work with them in an ensemble film. I would not mind doing a small comic role in a big film."
