Akshay Kumar
‘s latest film ‘
Sarfira
‘ has just released. The film is a remake of ‘Soorarai Pottru’ which had south star Suriya. While the early reviews of the movie are quite good, the last few films of Akshay have not been hits at the box office. However, Akshay reveals he doesn’t take
failure
and success so seriously. He opened up on taking inspiration on it from his father-in-law’s career.
When asked about the failure of his past few films, Akshay said during a chat with Galatta Plus, “I don’t let anything enter my head.
I have seen a lot of people fall down, I have heard many stories. My father-in-law has taught me so much, because he had seen the biggest success in life and then he saw a complete drop. I have heard stories. What I do is, I take knowledge from other people, and I realise that these things are just to be kept at a one-hand’s distance. My job is to just keep working.”
The actor revealed how he had once given 16 flops in his career. He further said, “In my career, I have given 16-18 hits continuously, then continuously I’ve given 10-12 flops. I don’t take it seriously. I’ve known this since the beginning of my career. It is not yours. It is a crown that will be passed on to others. Today, it’s with you, next Friday it’ll be with somebody else. Success is an amazing thing, but don’t take it seriously; it’ll run.”
However, he believes that success does not depend on hard work alone. It depends on luck as well. “I really believe this. Success is 70% luck and 30% hard work. I have seen worst films becoming superhits, and best films becoming flops… That means there is something called luck, and it plays its own game.”
Akshay’s last release was ‘
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
‘ with Tiger Shroff, which was mounted on a high budget, but didn’t meet expectations at the box office. As the producer Vashu Bhagnani suffered losses, Akshay was one of the first people to reach out to him and offer his help.
