Akshay Kumar is beloved by fans for his prolific work ethic and commitment to delivering quality performances year after year. However, according to renowned choreographer and filmmaker Ahmed Khan, money is not the driving factor behind Akshay's tireless work.
In a recent interview, Khan shed light on Akshay's attitude and why he continues to enthral audiences with multiple releases annually despite achieving massive success long ago. “It is evident that someone of Akshay's status doesn't require to work for financial needs. However, he views each new project as an opportunity to showcase his talent.”
Khan further stated that Akshay treats every role with equal importance whether it is a leading or cameo and gives his complete focus on perfecting his craft. “He had told me work is work and one must make the most of the chances they get.”
Akshay's punctuality is also legendary in the industry. Khan revealed that for early morning shoots, Akshay would be ready even before the crew arrives on set. “If the shoot time was 7 am, I would get a call at 6:30 informing Akshay is already present. He believes respecting others' time is as crucial as the work itself.”
Most impressively, Akshay continues to be unfazed by box office results according to Khan. “He only cares about giving his hundred percent and isn't troubled if a film underperforms commercially. Akshay learns from any mistakes privately without putting the blame on others,” Khan added.
With his down-to-earth nature and passion for acting, Akshay Kumar has cemented his place as one of the most revered stars in Bollywood. While success and fame arrived long back, his hunger and humility remains unchanged.
