Akshay Kumar is having a long and successful innings at the box-office, having spent 26 years in the film industry. “This is my 27th year,” informs the actor, adding, “My luck, a little bit of hard work, my family and of course, my fans have kept me going.”
City, an important market
In the city on Friday to promote Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Akshay says, “Hyderabad has been very kind to Hindi cinema. The market here is very important to my movies.”
Commercial actor
With movies like Toilet and Padman, Akshay has suddenly become a go-to actor for movies with a social cause, but he still considers himself a commercial hero. “Even when I did Holiday, it was commercial. Robo starring Rajinikanth is commercial. Toilet talks about socially relevant things but is still a commercial film. Commerciality is the father of all my movies,” he states.
