 "'Every failure teaches you the value of...'")
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.
The actor 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. 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.
Despite being delivered a string of failures, Akshay still remains bankable and one of the busiest stars in the industry. “My biggest strength has been my discipline and work ethic. I literally work on a time-table. I sleep, eat and work at a particular time, and shoot for a specific number of hours. I have followed this for years. Staying fit—both mentally and physically—has also played a crucial role in my longevity in the industry. The motivation comes from a genuine love for what I do and to continue making films on which so many livelihoods depend. Also, the support and love from my fans fuel my passion and commitment in this journey,” added the Rustom star.
Sharing his thoughts on how the viewing pattern of the audience has changed post-COVID, Akshay said, “The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the dynamics of the film industry. With audiences being more selective about their cinema outings, it has become crucial to choose projects that offer something completely entertaining and unique. I’ve become more mindful of the content, ensuring that it resonates with the current times and provides an experience that justifies a trip to the theatre. It’s about finding stories that not only entertain but also connect deeply with the audience,”
