Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood actor, made a statement on Friday addressing recent box office failures saying it is ridiculous that people are writing sympathetic messages expressing how they feel sorry for me just because my recent film did not perform well in theaters. He added that he is not bothered by such remarks and will continue to do his work as he has done for three decades.

Films like Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey were not hits.

Showing his positive attitude, he added, “Whatever happens in life happens for a better and bigger reason. Yes, my four or five films have not done well, so what? People are sending sympathetic messages like ‘Don’t worry’ and ‘It will be okay,’ but why?”

He also mentioned a journalist who wrote about his comeback, saying, “I called him up and inquired what ‘back’ even means. I have not gone anywhere; I am still here working on my next film.” Kumar conveyed this message to reporters at the trailer launch of Khel Khel Mein.

At the age of 56, the actor declared, “I am here, and I will continue to work. I don’t heed what presumptions and assumptions people make about me. I wake up with a productive mindset, exercise, go to work, and what I make, I do on my own. I don’t owe anything to anyone.”

Mudassar Aziz, known for directing Happy Bhag Jayegi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, is behind the comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein, which is set to compete at the box office with two other Hindi films: John Abraham’s Vedaa and Stree 2, releasing on August 15. Despite the competition, Aziz expressed his support for all the films, emphasizing a collaborative spirit within the Hindi film industry.

He stated, “We all belong to the same industry, I don’t see it as a competition. I have admiration for Amar Kaushik’s work (director of Stree 2) . I genuinely hope both of our films are a success at the box office.”

Aziz highlighted the importance of collective success for the industry, saying, “When a festive weekend arrives, it’s a chance to encourage audiences to visit cinemas. In Khel KhelMein, I’ve even included a nod to Stree as a way of saying, ‘Let’s make this a successful weekend for Hindi cinema .’

Khel Khel Mein is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl, Shashikant Sinha, and Ajay Rai.
