It’s Tough To Do Comedy, Says Akshay Kumar

Sunday, 20th Sept 2015, 12:09 PM IST Akshay Kumar is one actor who gives several films in a year as compared to his contemporaries. He explains how the whole process works for him, “The way I work benefits not just me, but also those around me. My make-up man tells me that he makes most money in the business simply because I work so much. If all the actors do just one or two films in a year, how will the industry thrive?” “I make my films in a certain amount. Since I am the producer, whatever the fate of the film, I’m the one who makes money or loses it — it’s nobody else’s loss,” says the Khiladi who also produces a lot of his films. After trying a few serious subjects the actor his back to the comedy genre with upcoming films like ‘Singh Is Bliing’ and ‘Housefull 3’. The actor adds, “For the past two-and-a-half years, I’ve been doing films with a message. Now, I’ve finally decided to do commercial films. There are very few people who can be the hero despite doing comedy. There was Amitabh Bachchan saab and Kishore Kumar saab — I just followed them. It’s tough to do comedy, but guys who do it don’t get their due. The genre is looked down upon. Unless you do romantic or tragic roles and unless you cry and scream on screen, you don’t get the best actor award. People look at comedy as buffoonery.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android:http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS:bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
