Mumbai, May 30 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is one of the few actors who has openly taken responsibility for his films that haven't worked at the box office. His last film, "Selfiee" was an outright disaster despite getting mixed to positive reviews.

Akshay believed that in the post covid-19 pandemic, the audience's taste has changed and they want to watch only larger-than-life films in theaters. He said that the change is happening in the industry and the movies are being planned accordingly. The covid was a huge setback but Akshay is hopeful that by the end of 2024, the industry will have stability and would be in a better position than it is today.



Box office results aside, the "Ram Setu" actor has been accused of charging high upfront fees which lead to an increase in budget and if the movie fails it results in huge losses to the makers. However, the actor revealed that he is not charging upfront fees for quite some time now and all the rumors about his remuneration are not true.

"It's not true. I am not charging upfront. I am the partner in the films. If Selfiee has flopped, I will not get money or will get just 10% of what my fee was. Today, if you come to me with an idea and if we work on the film, we will work as partners and release it together. If it works, both of us will earn. If not, we both will earn less or not at all. But it won't go in minus", he said in an interview with Mint.

He further said that despite the fact that Selfiee and Rakshabandhan did not work at the box office, Disney or Zee have not lost money because of these films as he was the one who didn't earn because of not charging upfront. For Selfiee, me and my partner Karan Johar took it.

Meanwhile, Akshay will next be seen in the social drama "OMG 2" which is based on sex education in India. He said that he will continue to make social-issue-based films without giving much attention to their box-office results as long as they are making an impact on society.

Stay tuned...
