Akshay Kumar says he don’t do films for financial reasons!

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is the talk of the town at this point in time since he has recently provided the industry with blockbuster films like ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Rowdy Rowdy’. However, the actor has insisted that he doesn’t do the films for financial reasons at all.

“Those days are long over when I would do films for financial reasons alone, so may be there was a certain pressure then, but today I don’t feel any of it,” said Akshay.

Both ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’, in which Akshay played a lead role, generated over Rs 100 crore at the box office. The 44-year-old has six more films under his belt as well.

As per the reports, almost 30 percent of the industry’s money is riding on Akshay right now. Nevertheless, when he was asked to share his thoughts, he stressed he simply likes to be grounded but he is grateful to B’town for showing faith in him.

“I am not running in a race here, but yes having this kind of money riding on me reflects the industry’s faith in me and I am grateful for that. It makes me feel more responsible,” he remarked.

He added, “The lessons I’ve learnt have kept me grounded and that’s also all that my father could have wished for. He told me to be whatever I could in life, but just be grounded.”

The actor, who is also known as the ‘Original Khiladi’ of Bollywood industry, is currently in Singapore with his family on a much-deserved break but he has said when he will return, once again there will be non-stop work.

“This is one thing I can’t compromise on, my family time. But I return in another two days and then it’s going to be working non-stop again,” says the actor.

Well, all said and done, Akshay Kumar has certainly come back under the main lights now but let’s see what he brings for his fans this time.
