One of the most successful actors in Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is known for delivering multiple hits each year, and from what we know, he currently has almost half a dozen movie projects in pipeline. Gearing up for the release of his first film this year, ‘Bachchhan Paandey’, Akshay says he does films that are made on a controlled budget and are wrapped up within a time limit.
Speaking in an interview, Akshay said, “I am a strong believer of the phrase ‘Budget hit toh film hit’. I have never wasted money and respected everyone’s time. I make it a point to respect my co-actors and crew’s time, so that the time can respect me back.”
He added, “One can’t give more than 45 to 50 days to a film and if you shoot a film in this time span, your budget will always be under control. I can’t work in a film that requires more than 100 days of shoot.” Akshay admits he is not a method actor. “I am not the one to lock myself in a room, Mere liye, acting karo, aur ghar chale jao (For me, one should act and go home).”
Last seen in an extended cameo in ‘Atrangi Re’, Akshay has ‘Prithviraj’, ‘Rakish Bandhan’, ‘Ram Setu’, and ‘OMG 2 - Oh My God!’ in the pipeline.
