Akshay Kumar is going through a phase of flop films these days. However, in the last few years, he has worked in many films based on social causes and taboo subjects like 'Padman', 'Toilet' and 'OMG 2'.
Meanwhile, the actor told in an interview that many people from the industry and even his friends have asked questions about his film choice.
The film 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' released in 2017 earned Rs 311 crore and 'Padman' released in 2018 earned Rs 212 crore.
Many people opposed my decisions
In an interview to India Today, Akshay said, “I have done many films on topics related to social causes. During this time, many friends and people from the industry asked me, why do you want to make a film on sanitary pads? Why do you want to make a film on toilets?”
The actor further said- 'When I made a film on sex education, many people opposed me. They said that talking about sex is bad. But I did these films because I liked those stories. If I like any such story in the future, I will do it again.'
Akshay's last released film 'Sarfira' was a flop. It made a lifetime collection of Rs 22 crore.
I worked really hard on 'Sarfira': Akshay
When Akshay was asked which is that film on which he worked the most in his entire career but did not get credit for the film, the actor named the recently released film 'Sarfira' in response to this.
Akshay said, 'I had worked very hard on Sarfira but it happens… sometimes you work a lot on a film but you don't get the expected response from the audience but 'Sarfira' is one of the best films I have done till date.'
The film 'Khel Khel Mein' is a remake of the Italian film 'Perfect Strangers' released in 2016.
These days Akshay is busy promoting his upcoming film 'Khel Khel Mein'. Apart from Akshay, many actors including Fardeen Khan, Taapsee Pannu and Vaani Kapoor will be seen in this film which is releasing on 15th August.
