Akshaye Khanna believes he is a hardcore commercial actor in Bollywood and the fact that his recent films -- "The Accidental Prime Minister" or "Section 375" -- are not considered mainstream "annoys" him.

Pointing out to his films such as "Border", "Aa Ab Laut Chalein", "Taal", "Humraaz", "Hulchul" and "Race" over the years, the actor said he has always been commercial in his movie choices.

"I've always viewed myself as a hardcore commercial actor. And if you see my work, from the start, I've only done commercial cinema. Sometimes people ask me questions, 'Do you view yourself as a commercial actor?'
"I've never been labelled as a romantic hero, or an action hero. I've always been looked at as an actor who can do a variety of things. And I don't take it lightly because it happens to a very few actors."
