In 2022, Akshay Kumar released five films, including four that were seen in theatres. Many people online criticised the actor for “working too much” after his films did not perform well at the box office. However, Akshay is not having it. He responded to these critics at a recent conversation at Leadership Summit 2022 by saying he doesn’t understand why they have an issue with him working.

Akshay and fellow actor Ram Charan participated in a session on cinema on Saturday. When questioned about why he produces 4-5 albums a year and works so hard, Akshay responded, “Tell me, does anyone here ask their kids why they work so much? People ask ítni gambling kyun karta hai, itna peeta kyun hai (why do you gamble so much, why do you drink so much)’. But who questions someone for working a lot?”

The actor defended his decision to work on four films each year and stated he would continue to do so in the future. “I do four films a year. Yes, I do it. I do ads, sure. I work, but I am not stealing from anyone. I don’t understand. Media persons ask me why do you get up early? But, morning is for waking up, right. They ask me why do you sleep so early. Arre bewakoof, raat ko sota hai aadmi (You fool, people sleep at night). I don’t understand what I am doing wrong. I will work, who won’t if they have a chance to do work. I will do four films. I will give 50 days if required and 90 days if needed.”

Akshay also clarified that his previous statement about ‘finishing a movie in 40 days’ has been misinterpreted. “I am talking about my shoot days, when I say 40 days and all. Otherwise, films take longer to make, some 80-90 days on an average,” he added.

Akshay had five releases this year–Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, and Ram Setu all released in theatres, while Cuttputlli released on Disney+ Hotstar.
