Akshay Kumar does not need to give an introduction, he has emerged as one of the biggest stars in the country after spending almost 30 years in the Bollywood film industry. A journey which was started with "Saugandh" in 1991, has been eventful yet memorable for the Nation Award-Winning actor. Reflecting on his journey, Akshay says entering the industry is easier than maintaining one's position.

"The challenge lies in maintaining yourself. Maintaining yourself in the industry is a big challenge. You will not believe that entering the film industry is still easier, but to maintain yourself in the industry and to keep up and cope up with everything going on, and be there in the industry, is a very difficult job", Akshay told IANS.



Over the years, Akshay has held on to the advice his father once gave him, as he surged ahead in his career. "I follow what my father taught me - keep working hard. Stop worrying about the future, everything will get sorted out. A lot of times, I have seen how the movie that I know is not good works. On the other hand, there are times when I know the film is good, and yet it doesn`t work. God has his own way of working and rewarding you", the actor said.

Akshay, who has seen more failure than success at the initial stage of his career, has developed a reputation of backing stories that have hues of patriotism and nationalism, besides films with socially-relevant content. Speaking about the kind of movies he picks, the Padman actor said, "I do films that are responsible and also the films that are commercial. I am not a teacher".

"I do films I like, and the messages I like. Sometimes there is a message, and there is no message. I do different types of films and I want to continue doing them in the future. I don't want to be a teacher. I get associated with the message I believe in. I made a film on sanitary pads and did one on the importance of toilets. (I) Also made one on science. I have made different types of films", he continued.

Talking about his upcoming projects, the superstar has as many as 7 films in the pipeline and most of them are slated to release this year. There is "Sooryavanshi" in which he will be seen as ATS officer Veer Sooryavanshi. He plays a RAW agent in "Bell Bottom", and brings alive the heroism of Prithviraj Chauhan in "Prithviraj". Also in his roster over the next months are "Bachchan Pandey", "Atrangi Re", "Raksha Bandhan" and "Ram Setu".
