Mumbai: Akshay Kumar’s fate seems to be replicating that of Salman Khan’s.With his overly hyped films bombing one after another at the Box Office, his performance and atrociously high fee is being questioned. Be it ‘Chandni Chowk To China’, double-role murder mystery ‘Tasveer 8x12’ or ‘Kambakkth Ishq’.
The critics ripped them all apart, but the films ran to packed houses.
Apparently, the collection speaks louder than voice or word, and Sajid was so pleased with the success of ‘Kambakkth Ishq’, that he couldn’t wait to work with Akshay again.
Akshay looked surprised questioned about this. “Why only Sajid,” he asked, “take any producer, from Vipul Shah to Nikhil Advani and from Venus to T Series, all have worked with me in three, four, five films. My heroines as well, all of them. There must be something in me for people to want to work with me again and again, no?”
Defending the critics’ comments, he said to a news daily, “I would like to think it doesn’t matter what critics say... but it does matter,” he sighed. “Critics are like the tax man. Everybody wishes they don’t exist, but they do. I can’t force them to be nice to me. But it’s upto the people to decide whether to see a film or not. If I want to see a film, I will, even if the critics say it’s crap!”
Guess this is what keeps him going and keeps adding up to his fortune despite all the criticism.
