Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood superstar, recently shared his thoughts on how some people in the film industry react when his movies don’t succeed. He also remembered the valuable advice his father gave him about being a ‘producer’s man’. Akshay’s latest film, Sarfira, hit theaters on July 12, and he is hoping for a change in his box office luck after a string of flops.
Industry’s Reaction to Failures
In an interview with Galatta Plus, Akshay Kumar opened up about the tough times he’s faced in his career. Despite being a big name in Bollywood, he has experienced over 10 back-to-back flops in recent years. When asked about how closely he is scrutinized, Akshay admitted that some people in the industry celebrate his failures. “People (in the industry) love seeing it. I’ve seen it myself. When my movie doesn’t work, others are happy,” he said.
His Father’s Advice
Even with the ups and downs in his career, Akshay follows his father’s wise words. His father once told him, “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.” This advice has kept Akshay focused and dedicated, regardless of whether his movies are hits or misses.
