Despite having a compelling lineup that included films like Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, and Ram Setu, among others, Akshay Kumar wasn’t quite able to generate the box office draw in 2022. Selfiee, his most recent movie starring Emraan Hashmi, failed to attract much attention either. The actor recently discussed his recent run of duds and said that it was time for him to take a break and reflect on making back-to-back movies without any clear-cut results.
The performer said in an interview that “This is not the first time this has happened to me. I’ve experienced 16 straight failures at a time in my work. There was a period when eight of my films in a row were failures. I’ve now had three or four films in a run that weren’t successful. The problem is that it occurs as a result of your own negligence, picture ka na chalna. (a film not working). You must disassemble yourself in order to adapt to the changing public. Because the public wants to see something else, you must start over.
The actor who famously took a selfie with himself continued to blame himself for his films’ poor box office performance, saying, “It is a great alarm, aapki film nahi chal rahi to galti aapki hai.” (If your films are not working, it is your fault). When several of your movies are box office duds, it should serve as a warning that something needs to change. Wahi kar sakta hoon, mai koshish kar raha (I am trying to change, that is all I can do). Don’t hold the crowd or anyone else accountable. It is entirely my responsibility. The lack of interest in Aapki Film is not due to the public. It is as a result of your decision. Perhaps you didn’t provide the proper ingredients for the film.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is anticipating his collaboration with Tiger Shroff in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The actor recently reconnected with the Hera Pheri Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty ensemble as the film’s producers prepared to begin filming the eagerly anticipated sequel. He would also appear in Capsule Gill and Oh My God 2.
