Akshay Kumar reacts to allegations of not committing to his craft
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 05 2022]
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is known for his workaholic nature. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Akshay churns out 4-5 movies every year and according to a recent statement, he doesn't really prepare much to play his characters convincingly. This has led some people to believe that the actor lacks commitment towards his craft and that he merely changes his outfits in order to prepare to for new films.
The failure of Akshay's last two big budget films also backs up this theory. However, during a recent promotional event for his film 'Raksha Bandhan', Akshay addressed this issue and stated that although his style of work is different, he is more proactive in the production of a film than other Bollywood stars.
The actor told TOI, “I spend only 8 hours on a film set in the day, but I don’t spend a single minute of those 8 hours in a vanity van. I am always standing on the floor of the movie set. My 8 hours are equal to 14-15 hours of any other star. That’s my commitment to the movies.
As of now, Akshay is gearing up for the release of his film 'Raksha Bandhan' which is set to come out on 11th of August.
