Akshay Kumar spoke his heart out about his back to back flop movies

When his consecutive films don’t succeed, according to Akshay Kumar, it’s time to take a step back, think about it, and make changes to who he is. Additionally, he acknowledged that this is not a new phase for him and accepted blame for his films’ box office failure.
The fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s “police universe,” Sooryavanshi, was the last Akshay Kumar movie to do well at the box office. He appeared opposite Katrina Kaif in its 2021 release. Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn both made cameo appearances in the movie.
Reminded that he has given three-four flops in a row, Akshay said, “This is not happening with me for the first time. In my career, I have had 16 consecutive flops at a time. There was a time when I had eight films in a row that did not work. Now, I have had three-four films in a row that did not work. The thing is that it happens due to your own fault, film ka na chalna (a film not working). The audience have changed, you need to change, you need to dismantle yourself. You have to start again because the audience require to see something else.”
Akshay added, “It is a great alarm, aapki film nahi chal rahi to galti aapki hai (If your films are not working, it is your fault). When your films flop in a row, it is an alarm for you that it is time for you to change. Mai koshish kar raha hun, wahi kar sakta hoon (I am trying to change, that is all I can do).” He also said that he’d like to tell everyone that when films don’t work, the audience must not be blamed. “Do not blame the audience or anyone else. It is my fault, 100%. Aapki film na chalna is not because of audience. It is because of what you selected. Maybe you have not given the right ingredients in the film.”
After the box office lull due to the pandemic-induced lockdown and restrictions, Akshay Kumar’s BellBottom was the first major film to release in theatres. His film with Rohit Shetty- Sooryavanshi was also the first Hindi box office hit post-pandemic. However, all his films that released in theatres since 2022 have failed to record huge numbers. Last year’s Raksha Bandhan and Samrat Prithviraj were box office duds. His latest outing, Selfiee released on February 24 and made a disappointing opening collection of below ₹3 crore on the first day.
