Akshay Kumar is having a bad run at the box office, with two of his films bombing at the same time. Selfiee, the most recent film to underperform at the box office, debuted with a pitiful collection of Rs 2.5 crore. It’s the lowest opening for an Akshay Kumar film since 2009.

Akshay Kumar’s Statement
At a recent event, Akshay stated that when his films do not work back to back, it is time for him to take a step back, think, and evolve. His most recent box office success was Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, which was released in 2021.
When asked about his four consecutive flop films, Akshay told Aaj Tak that this is not the first time this has happened to him. He had 16 consecutive flops at one point in his career. Another time, he had eight consecutive pictures that bombed.
That happens because of ‘your own fault,’ according to Akshay. Because the audience has changed, so must the stars. He also stated that a string of flops should serve as a wake-up call to make a change. “Mai koshish kar raha hun, wahi kar sakta hoon,” says the speaker (I am trying to change, that is all I can do). Don’t point the finger at the audience or anyone else. “It’s entirely my fault,” he was reported as saying.
With the terrible performance of Selfiee, netizens are criticizing Akshay’s film choices, as he has had a string of disappointments recently, including Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, and Ram Setu.
Akshay Gets Emotional During an Interview Remembers his Mother
Whether it was humor, action, or drama, Akshay Kumar never failed to surprise audiences with his acting abilities. Nonetheless, his recent films have performed poorly at the box office. During the dry run of his pictures at the box office, the actor became distraught when he was told that none of his films had performed well since her mother’s death. During an interview with a news channel, Akshay got teary-eyed as he recalled memories of his late mother and expressed what his mother used to say him when he was frightened or angry. ‘Unki ek badi famous phrase hai, ‘Fikr nahi kar puttar, babaji tere naal hai,’ he remarked.
Akshay Kumar also stated that he and no one else wants to blame the viewers. The actor accepted full responsibility for Selfiee’s failure. He advised that if your films aren’t succeeding, you should change and improve your choices. He informed the portal, “Don’t point the finger at the audience or anyone else. It is entirely my fault. Aapki film na chalna is not due to the viewers. It’s because of what you choose. Perhaps you did not include all of the necessary ingredients in the Fim.
Akshay Kumar reflected on his mother, Aruna Bhatia, who died a year and a half ago, and added that it is always vital to take care of parents and seek their blessings.
Akshay, who came as a celebrity guest on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ chatted with the host’s mother and urged her to share some interesting memories from her son’s childhood.
