Akshay Kumar claps back at trolls over multiple film projects: "jisko kaam mil raha hai usko toh karne do"

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, known for his prolific output, recently addressed the criticism he faces for taking on multiple films each year. Often releasing more than three or four movies annually, the actor has become a frequent target of trolls who argue that he should focus on fewer, more carefully chosen projects.

In a candid conversation with Ghazal Alagh, Akshay Kumar responded to these critics with his signature wit. He shared, "People often question me, asking why I do four films a year and suggesting I should do only one. But if I did just one film, what would I do for the rest of the year? Come to their house?" He continued with a poignant reminder, “Beta, yaad rakhna lucky are those people who get work. Yahan roz koi na koi bolta hai berozgaari chal rahi hai ye chal raha hai wo chal raha hai… jisko kaam mil raha hai usko toh karne do.”

In an earlier interview with Forbes India, the star spoke about the evolving preferences of audiences, noting that viewers have become more selective about the content they choose to watch in theaters. He emphasized the importance of selecting entertaining and unique projects that resonate with contemporary audiences. "It's crucial to pick stories that not only entertain but also connect deeply with the audience," Akshay said, explaining his approach to choosing scripts.

As for his upcoming projects, Akshay Kumar shows no signs of slowing down. He will next be seen in the comedy-drama 'Khel Khel Mein,' directed by Mudassar Aziz. The film, slated for release on August 15, 2024, also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Fardeen Khan. Additionally, fans can look forward to his performances in 'Sky Force' and 'Welcome To The Jungle,' further solidifying his reputation as one of Bollywood's most industrious actors.

Akshay Kumar's candid remarks and relentless work ethic continue to endear him to audiences, proving that his approach to filmmaking, despite the criticism, is both deliberate and thoughtful. As he continues to juggle multiple projects, Akshay remains a testament to the value of hard work and passion in the entertainment industry.
