Akshay Kumar has contributed to the Hindi film industry for over three decades. Recognized as one of Bollywood’s most skilled actors, he is set to star in an upcoming movie called Khel Khel Mein. The film will hit theaters on August 15, 2024, aligning with India’s Independence Day festivities. As anticipation for the movie grows, let’s take a glimpse at Akshay Kumar’s thoughts on the success of his recent theatrical releases.
During the press interaction at the trailer launch of Khel Khel Mein, journalists questioned Akshay Kumar regarding his recent string of box-office failures. His upcoming films, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Sarfira, have performed poorly commercially. Responding to these inquiries, Akshay Kumar confidently asserted, “Oh, come on! I am not dead. Everything I earn is a result of my own efforts. I have not asked anything from anyone.” He humorously remarked that the public’s reaction to his unsuccessful films was akin to mourning his death, noting that the messages he received regarding his performance resembled those typically sent during an obituary. Meanwhile, the other cast and crew members rallied around Akshay Kumar, expressing their unwavering belief that Khel Khel Mein would achieve box-office success.
The narrative of Khel Khel Mein centers on a group of seven friends who gather for a dinner party only to find themselves engaged in a game within a confined space. As the game progresses, their deceptions and hidden truths begin to surface, exposing personal revelations about each other. Mudassar Aziz directs the film and features Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Fardeen Khan, and Vaani Kapoor in prominent roles, with Fardeen Khan also appearing in a supporting capacity.
