Akshay Kumar claims the industry throws a party when his movies flop; reminisces dad’s golden rule about being a ‘producer’s pet’

Hello, my darlings! Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to spill the tea with a side of spice. Let’s dive into the latest from our favorite Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, shall we?

Akshay Kumar’s Roller-Coaster Ride 🎢

So, Akshay Kumar is back in the headlines, and not necessarily for the reasons he’d like. His latest flick, Sarfira, hit theaters today (July 12), and boy, has it been a rough ride for Mr. Kumar at the box office! Over 10 consecutive flops, and the poor chap now finds himself reflecting on the schadenfreude within the industry. Yes, you read that right.

During a chat with Galatta Plus, our 56-year-old action star got candid about his peers in Bollywood secretly (or not-so-secretly) celebrating his string of failures. Imagine the scene: “Inka ye picture nahi chala, and everyone’s popping champagne!” 🍾 Quite the visual, isn’t it?

Akshay Kumar: The Industry’s Favorite Punching Bag?

When quizzed about the heightened scrutiny he faces, Akshay didn’t hold back. He admitted that folks within the industry seem to revel in the downfall of his films. “People love seeing it,” he said, with a sigh that probably echoed across the multiplexes. It’s like Bollywood’s own version of a reality TV show, where the drama is real, and the stakes are sky-high. 🎬

But despite the setbacks, our Khiladi isn’t about to throw in the towel. He’s sticking to the wisdom imparted by his father: follow your instinct, keep your head down, and always be a producer’s man. That’s right, folks, even when the ship is sinking, Akshay’s the guy bailing out the water with a bucket. ⛴️

A Quick Trip Down Akshay’s Recent Flops (Ouch!)

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Akshay’s recent duds include Bachchhan Paandey, Samraat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Selfiee, Ram Setu, Mission Raniganj, and the latest disaster, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. But don’t count him out just yet! He’s got a lineup that would make anyone’s head spin: Khel Khel Mein, Sky Force, Singham Again, Jolly LLB 3, Welcome to the Jungle, Hera Pheri 3, Shankara, and Kannappa. Phew! 🏃‍♂️

COVID Strikes Again!

In a twist nobody saw coming (except maybe his detractors), Akshay has tested positive for COVID-19. This unfortunate incident happened during the promotions for Sarfira. Consequently, he had to miss Anant Ambani’s wedding, which he was personally invited to by the groom. Talk about a rough week! 🤒

Nisha’s Nutshell: Moral of the Story 🥜

In Bollywood, one man’s flop is another man’s fiesta. 🎉 Remember, darling, in this glittering jungle, it’s all about survival of the flashiest. If you’re down, someone’s up, and vice versa. So, keep your popcorn ready because this show is far from over!

Until next time, keep those cameras rolling and the gossip flowing!
