Actor Akshay Kumar says his son was initally impressed with his latest film "Rowdy Rathore", but now he is fascinated by animated characters from "Madagascar 3 - Europe's Most Wanted".

"Since 'Rowdy Rathore' released, my son had only been talking about 'Rowdy'. Until today!(Thursday)... I took him to see 'Madagascar 3' and he's still laughing," Akshay tweeted.

"Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" is an computer-animated comedy film. It is the third instalment of the series, following "Madagascar" and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa".

Co-directed by Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon, it is set to release in India Friday.
