Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Senior Bollywood star Mukesh Khanna has lately shared his opinion regarding popular star Akshay Kumar’s back-to-back flop movies at the box office. Urging him to pick different stories rather than being defensive for the ‘failure.’
Recently, Mukesh Khanna sat down for a conversation with Bollywood Bubble's Let's Talk and discussed Akshay Kumar's consecutive flops at the box office. The veteran actor said that, in his opinion, Akshay should make films on subjects that have been successful for him in the past. For instance, his movies like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha or Airlift performed well at the box office. He was quoted as saying: "But I also told him that now he should choose subjects where he stands firm, like playing the role of a husband in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha or in the rescue operation film. I heard that the film did well, but it didn't have any action, which doesn't suit Akshay."
Mukesh added: "I don't know if he saw my video or not, and I didn't get any response, but I heard that nowadays he's being defensive. In a video, I saw someone comment, 'If you do four or five films a year, this is bound to happen.' To that, he responded, 'If I finish one film in four months, what should I do afterward? Come to your house?' That's what he said, and I read it. So, he is right in a way because he defended himself by saying that he saves the producer’s money and has perfect timing, finishing the work quickly. But I still feel that he should change his selection of stories, and he will be a superhit again because people love him as a fighter. Even in Hera Pheri, he did comedy to some extent, but my connection with him isn't strong anymore. In fact, I've spoken against him regarding Laxmii, and I've criticised him in other instances too, like saying he shouldn't do gutka ads."
