Akshay Kumar Talks About His Flop Films

At the recent trailer launch event, Akshay said as per News18, ¡°We keep on trying for every type of film. I don¡¯t stick to one kind of genre. I keep on jumping from one genre to another, whether there is success or no success, that¡¯s how I have always worked. I¡¯ll keep on doing it¡­ something that is social, something that is good, something in comedy, in action.¡±

Akshay continued, ¡°I will always keep on doing different kinds of (work). I won¡¯t be sticking to one kind of thing just because people say, ¡®sir, aaj kal comedy and action bohot chal rahe hai (I am told comedy and action is working these days)¡¯. It doesn¡¯t mean I should only do action. I myself start getting bored if I do one kind of thing. Whether it was Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, whether it is Airlift or Rustom, or many other films that I have done; sometimes success is there, sometimes it¡¯s not.¡±

He added, ¡°It is not that I have not seen (this phase before), there was a time when I had 16 consecutive flops in my career. But I stood there and kept on doing work and I¡¯ll still do that. This is one film this year for which we all have done lots of hard work and now we are going to see the results. We hope this is going to bring good luck to all of us.¡±
