Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar’s latest release Sarfira has opened to positive reviews but it needs to pick up speed at the box-office otherwise it will be added in the list of back-to-back flops given by Akshay Kumar in recent times.
Akshay Kumar is often slammed for not giving enough time for the shooting of movies but recently Khiladi Kumar has rebuked such claims and said that he gives as much time as the director demands for the movie. He also gave a reference to a Tom Cruise movie and said that Tom Cruise shot for only 55 days for the biggest action movie, Mission Impossible.
Akshay Kumar stated, “Only 55 Days. Rest of the filming continues, with duplicates and all. Biggest action film in the industry, Mission Impossible, and Tom Cruise shot only for 55 days. Everyday, they shoot a scene of 1 and a half to two mins so you can calculate.”
He further said, “There are a few films that have 75 days shoot schedule, there are others that are 30 days shoot schedule, how much ever time the director asks, I will give. People have (presented a wrong perception) to people. I don’t want to get into the detail of it on who started it. Because it starts from somebody who doesn’t like you, that let’s find out one or two things. So it starts that way.”
He claimed that a narrative is being set against him as his movies are not working, he said, “Earlier, people would say ‘start a film with him and it wraps quickly.’ This was when 17 to 18 films of mine were working. He comes on time, goes on time, movie wraps, it releases — it sees the day of release in 8 to 9 months. Now that movies are not working, they narrative is he doesn’t give films time. They change it.”
Akshay also maintained that he is not giving any clarification, “People want to see content, people want to see your effort, people want to see what you (have made), they are not interested in how much time you are spending. Ye toh inhone likh likh ke… Not that I am giving a clarification, people can write what they want. But this is not what I think. I would like to tell my audience that don’t think like that and don’t believe what people say.”
