If there is one person in Bollywood, who is famous for the number of films he does every single year without fail, it has to be Akshay Kumar. Even during the pandemic, when things were at a standstill and future seemed bleak, the actor came out with films on OTT as well as in theatres, just to provide entertainment to his audiences.

However, while most of the people are in awe of his speed, he has been criticised by a lot of people as well at times for it. This year, Akshay Kumar has had two releases yet with Bachchhan Paandey and Samrat Prithviraj, and unfortunately, both did underwhelming business at the box office. Currently, he is awaiting the release of his next film, Raksha Bandhan, that comes in theatres on August 11.

Talking about his approach towards his work, Akshay told ETimes, “Right through my career, especially during my early days, people used to ask me why I work on four films in a year. People have always asked me to slow down and ease out on the number of films I act in or produce. Let me tell you, I take the maximum number of holidays for any individual in the film industry. I never work on Sundays. I always work half a day on Saturday.”

He went on to add that even his Raksha Bandhan director has admitted to how his work ethics have influenced him. Aanand L Rai commented on this as well, wherein he told me that my work culture has changed his very perception of working. I spend only 8 hours on a film set in the day, but I don’t spend a single minute of those 8 hours in a vanity van. I am always standing on the floor of the movie set. My 8 hours are equal to 14-15 hours of any other star. That’s my commitment to the movies,” Akshay insisted.

Even after Raksha Bandhan, Akshay has his next slate of films all ready which include Ram Setu, Selfiee, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Cinderella, Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru and Captain Gill. He is indeed a busy man.
