Akshay Kumar BREAKS Silence on His Back-to-back Flops, Says 'There Was a Time When I Had...'

Akshay Kumar has witnessed a series of flops at the box office of late. At the trailer launch of his upcoming movie Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Akshay spoke about the lukewarm response of his recent films including Selfiee and Mission Raniganj at the ticket window.

Akshay said that he’s been giving it his all to make sure his films are a success, however, the box office fate is not in his hand. At the trailer launch event, Akshay said, “We keep on trying for every type of film. I don’t stick to one kind of genre. I keep on jumping from one genre to another, whether there is success or no success, that’s how I have always worked. I’ll keep on doing it… something that is social, something that is good, something in comedy, in action.”

Akshay continued, “I will always keep on doing different kinds of (work). I won’t be sticking to one kind of thing just because people say, ‘sir, aaj kal comedy and action bohot chal rahe hai (I am told comedy and action is working these days)’. It doesn’t mean I should only do action. I myself start getting bored if I do one kind of thing. Whether it was Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, whether it is Airlift or Rustom, or many other films that I have done; sometimes success is there, sometimes it’s not.”

Akshay then recalled the time when he had 16 consecutive flops. He shared, “It is not that I have not seen (this phase before), there was a time when I had 16 consecutive flops in my career. But I stood there and kept on doing work and I’ll still do that. This is one film this year for which we all have done lots of hard work and now we are going to see the results. We hope this is going to bring good luck to all of us.”
