New Delhi: Recently released three consecutive films of Akshay Kumar - 'Bachchan Pandey', 'Samrat Prithviraj' and 'Rakshabandhan' had a very bad situation at the box office. Now his next film 'Cuttputlli' is going to be released directly on OTT. In such a situation, when the question related to the struggle of films at the box office and the release of films directly on OTT was asked at the trailer launch event of the upcoming thriller, Akshay considered himself responsible for the failure of his films.
Akshay Kumar said, "If films are not doing well then it is our fault, it is my fault. I have to bring changes in them, I have to understand what the audience wants. I have to change my thinking and ways and think that I should know what kind of films should I work in. In such a situation, it would be wrong to hold someone else responsible and it is all my responsibility."
After the flop of the last three films in a row, 'Cuttputlli' is being released directly on OTT instead of being released in theatres. In such a situation, Akshay said in response to a question that films released on OTT should not be taken lightly.
Akshay was asked that in such a situation when Bollywood films are not running, has it become more safe for actors to release films on OTT? Replying to the question, Akshay Kumar said, "It is not that it is safe (to release on OTT). For that too the audience should like or dislike the film. It has nothing to do with being safe. It is not a safety net. Massive people watch the film, media people watch the film, critics and audience watch the films. They see whether they liked the film or not. We have to work hard even for the films released on OTT. "
Akshay Kumar is known for working and releasing more than half a dozen films in a year. In such a situation, when he was asked how much difference there should be in the films released by any actor, Akshay said, "During the Corona period many films were ready. Some of it was released and some due to the closure of theaters, it could not be released due to the lockdown. There were many other issues during the lockdown. We kept working and the films kept piling up."
It is noteworthy that Akshay Kumar started the trailer launch of 'Cuttputlli' with a puppet-like performance on stage and later described his experience of playing a different kind of role in the film.
The film 'Cuttputlli', which is going to release on Disney+Hotstar on September 02, 2022, is the Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil film (which is based on a real life psycho killer).
Apart from Akshay Kumar, actresses Rakulpreet, Chandrachud Singh, Sargun Mehta, director of the film Ranjit Tiwari, producers of the film Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh were also present on the occasion of the trailer launch of the film.
