Mumbai. Filmmaker Ekta Kapoor has come out in support of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar after the failure of his latest release Selfie. Akshay Kumar’s film Selfie has failed to pull the audience to the theatres. Apart from Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi is also in the film Selfie. This film is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Driving License. However, the film failed and registered a disappointing opening at the box-office with Rs 2.5 crore.
With this, it has become Akshay’s sixth consecutive flop film after Bachchan Pandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Katputli and Ram Setu. Ekta Kapoor targeted the tabloid culture in the story section of her Instagram. Ekta Kapoor wrote, Akshay Kumar is the most reliable, trustworthy actor to work with! Suppressing the tabloid culture of bringing someone down for the sake of putting someone down is a big mistake in itself! Hashtag insensitive.
This post of Ekta has come after Kangana Ranaut criticized the selfie. Kangana had reacted to Selfie’s box office report, in which she was compared to Akshay. Indirectly comparing the first day business of her last film Dhakad (2022) to Selfie, Kangana wrote, Karan Johar’s film Selfie has barely earned 10 lakhs on the first day, I don’t see a single media person talking about this Not seeing the way they bother me.
Akshay Kumar has gone through this phase before as well.
Akshay Kumar himself has also given a statement about his flop films. Akshay Kumar told that I know that something wrong is happening. I am doing some mistake. Which I am constantly trying to improve. I have seen this phase before also. There was a phase in my career when 16 of my films did not work. Not only this, once more my 9 films had flopped. But all this goes on. I am constantly trying to improve.
