 "'Lucky are those people who get...'")
The Khiladi of Bollywood, who has dominated the industry by giving back-to-back money spinners, has been going through a rough patch as his recent films including Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Mission Raniganj, Ram Setu, Selfiee, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and the latest one Sarfira bombed at the box office.
While many criticize the actor for doing four films a year, Akki came back with a savage reply and won the hearts of his fans.
“Mujhe kehte hain ye chaar film kyu karta hai saal mein… isko ek film karni chahiye… chalo main ek picture kar leta hu baaki din kya karunga? Tere ghar mein aaun? 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. (They say to me, why does he do four films a year… he should do just one film… okay, so I do one film, but what will I do for the rest of the days? Should I come to your house? Remember, lucky are those people who get work. Here, every day someone says there is unemployment, this is happening, that is happening… if someone is getting work, let them do it),” said Akki in a candid conversation with Ghazal Alagh.
In a recent interview with Forbes, the actor spoke about delivering a string of flops and said, “Behind every film, there is a lot of blood, sweat and passion that goes in. It is heart-breaking to see any film fail. But you have to learn to see the silver lining. Every failure teaches you the value of success and increases the hunger for it even further. Luckily, I learnt to deal with it earlier on in my career. Of course, it hurts and impacts you, but that won’t change the fate of the film. It’s not something which is in your control, what is in your control is to work harder, make amends and give it your all to your next film. That’s how I channel my energy and try to move on to the next, focusing my energy where it matters the most.”
