Akshay Kumar starrer Selfiee, which was released recently, showed dismal figures at opening

Akshay Kumar has been under the radar of the media after consecutive flops. The actor’s latest movie, Selfiee was released recently and showed a dismal figure at the opening. After much-anticipation, the actor broke silence about the same.

Reminded that he has given three-four flops in a row, Akshay told a leading daily, “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.”

Akshay Kumar’s BellBottom was the first major film to be released in theaters after the pandemic. His film with Rohit Shetty- Sooryavanshi was also the first Hindi box office hit post-pandemic that worked well. However, all his films that have been released in theatres since 2022 have failed to record huge numbers. Last year’s Raksha Bandhan and Samrat Prithviraj were major box office failures. His latest outing, Selfiee released on February 24 and made a disappointing collection as of now.
