With consecutive flops lately, superstar Akshay Kumar has been going through a rough patch in his career. Akshay's latest film, Sarfira, has joined the list of his movies that failed at the box office in recent years.
Amidst this, Akshay has revealed that he has been a victim of financial "cheating" in his profession.
Akshay Kumar talks about getting cheated at work
During a new episode of Abundantia Entertainment's Sarfiri Baatein ft. Ghazal Alagh on YouTube, Akshay Kumar opened up about being financially cheated in his career. The Sarfira actor said that he has been subjected to cheating incidents in his life.
"Ek do producers ki payment nahin aati hain and it's cheating only. (It has happened to me. A few producers haven't cleared my dues yet)," the superstar shared.
Akshay shared that he detaches from someone who cheats on him.
"Uske baad main usse baat hi nahin karta, Chup ho jaata hoon apna side mein nikal jaata hoon (I just don't talk to that person after that. I go quiet and leave from sideway)," he added.
When Akshay Kumar spoke about his 'overexposure' of films
Earlier in an interview, Akshay Kumar shared his opinion on signing multiple films in a year. The Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor said that if he picks one film in two years, there is no "guarantee" that it will make money at the box office.
Akshay shared that he has witnessed such practice in Bollywood where actors sign one film and it flops, resulting in them having zero projects for the next year. Khiladi Kumar added that it is about balancing commerce with creativity.
