Akshay is a special case in BW; he really lucked out by finding a niche for himself only that appeals to masses and didn’t require him to reinvent himself. Even stars like SRK, Hrithik and Aamir have (had) to reinvent themselves as their old formula doesn’t work anymore. So in that sense I do admire his hustle; the man is clever.
BUT it is now too obvious that he is in it for the money only and has no real passion for movies. Otherwise he would choose better scripts and space out his movies. He and his opportunistic wife come across as super sneaky and snooty.
Akshay is the male version of Kareena, except that Kareena is lazy af and hence doesn’t feel like filming 24/7. She has relied on her past popularity for years now to make money. Both are pathetic.
