MUMBAI: Except for his last few releases before Sarfira, Akshay Kumar has been one of the most bankable stars in the Hindi cinema. His recent films like Ram Setu, Selfiee, Mission Raniganj, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan did not meet expectations at the box office.

Akshay signs multiple films in a year, however, the actor "doesn't want to calculate" if they will work at the box office or not. The superstar continues to pick projects that he believes in.
In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Akshay Kumar shared his thoughts behind the overexposure of films in his career. Akshay believes that if he picks a film in two years, there is no "guarantee" that it will be successful.
"I have seen people do that and then the film does not work, and they get no films for the next year. It is all about doing films with commerce also and what you want to give the audience," the Sarfira actor said.
Calling his idea a blend of "creativity and commerce", Akshay addressed the issue of overexposure saying that he has no option but to continue work.
During the same interview, Akshay Kumar shed light on a piece of advice that megastar Amitabh Bachchan once offered to him. Quoting Big B, Khiladi Kumar said that he has advised him to never stop working till he can.
"Kaam karte rehna. Kaam ko mat chhodna, kaam ata hai, karte rehna (He told me that you must continue to do work, and never leave work when it comes to you)," the superstar recalled.
The 56-year-old actor also added that the senior actor advised him not to pay attention to anyone and believe in the audience.
Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan have collaborated in films like Waqt: The Race Against Time, Khakee, Aankhen, Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo, and Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love.
