Akshay Kumar says industry is ‘happy’ when his films don't work; recalls his father's advice about being a 'producer’s man'
Akshay Kumar who was last seen in Sarfira has spoken about how at times some industry people were happy when his films didn't work. He also recalled his father's advice about being a 'producer’s man'.
Akshay Kumar is celebrating the release of his recent movie Sarfira which hit the theatres today (July 12). Box office wise the actor’s luck hasn’t been in his favor for a long time now. Kumar has faced over 10 back-to-back flops in the past few years and now while talking to Galatta Plus, he has said that several people in the industry have been happy seeing his failing films.
Akshay Kumar admits people breaking in celebration over his failure
In the interview, the 56-year-old was asked whether scrutiny around him is higher considering he is a big name in the industry. Akshay Kumar was quick to agree on the same and admitted that people were overjoyed seeing someone’s several films flopping. He added, “People (in the industry) love seeing it. I’ve seen it myself. Inka ye picture nahi chala, other people are happy. (His picture didn’t work)”.
Akshay admitted that this is certainly from people in the industry and not someone from outside. However, despite the trajectory of his career right now, Akshay feels everyone should be consistent with their hard work. Kumar says whether movies work or not, he follows what his father taught him once. Kumar said, “A lot of people will come and give you advice, you follow your own instinct and go straight. Always be a producer’s man; take his pain when a film doesn’t work.”
