 'Few producers have cheated on me, haven't cleared my dues'

The Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar has been going through a rough patch as his films in the last few years including Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Mission Raniganj, Ram Setu, Selfiee, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and the latest one Sarfira failed to perform at the box office.

During a chat on Sarfiri Baatein ft. Ghazal Alagh, the star spoke about how some producers are yet to clear his dues. Kumar said, “This is the something we have in common. Main uske baad main usse baat hi nahin karta, chup ho jaata hoon apna side mein nikal jaata hoon… ek do producers ki payment nahin aati hain and that is cheating only… (I just don’t talk to that person, who cheats me. I go quiet.. it has happened to me. A few producers haven’t cleared my dues).”

The actor also reacted on delivering a string of flops and said that the fate of films is not in his hands. “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.”

He added, “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,” said Akki while talking to Forbes.
