An excerpt from PV

Akki says "When I did Khakee, I die during the interval. All this doesn't matter. There are so many films I have done where I don't even have the heroine with me. If there's cinema that I feel can make a difference, I'd happily go do it."

But this is something that is very in-bred within the Hindi film industry, Akshay feels. "These kind of thinking is not there in Hollywood. They don't think of films in this fashion. But yaha yeh hota hai," he further continues to cite a recent example- "I won't name the person but this one actor is doing a two-hero subject. He amazingly told the producer ki pehle mera ek solo photo aayega. Then, agle hafte dono ka saath mein aayega. Why solo? Because he wants to show he's the main hero, although it's a two-hero subject. The thinking has been reduced to a solo poster. I was quite shocked to listen to this."

But today, he's part of the cop universe that Rohit Shetty is planning where along with him, other big names like Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgnand others have come together for a big association. "They are all doing cameos in Sooryavanshi. But there still isn't a film like maybe an Amar Akbar Anthony. Pehle banti thi, I have done such films with actors like Suniel Shetty, Saif Ali Khan and others. Ab I don't know why we don't do it anymore. People don't want to work with another actor anymore," he sighs.

Ask him what triggers such a behaviour from actors today and he explains, "I don't know why. It must stem from insecurity. It's not about the budget actually. Pehle budget matter nahi karte the kya? I would request everyone to do two-hero or a three-hero subject. It doesn't matter. Do it if you like the script and you like your role. I fail to understand why they don't. I have worked with seven heroes too, in Jaani Dushman," he bursts out laughing.

WAR is a two hero subject. Is he trying to imply Hrithik's name?

And has success gone into Akshay's head? He might be right but he has been speaking in a very snobbish manner lately and hinting at his own superiority complex by continuous comparison. Let others do what they want, you do what you like.

That's a shame. He was one of the coolest and 'minding own business' actors.

It's really been ages when we saw two big superstars coming together for a good project. At one point of time, I really wished Salman, SRK and Aamir to do a movie together.

Probably. Given he later “jokes” he’s had 7 co-stars and Hrithik is considering Satte Pe Satta remake right now. However you’d think a star so insecure he wants a solo poster probably wouldn’t have agreed to this as the teaser: https://twitter.com/yrf/status/1150671949711859713?s=21

And probably wouldn’t have consistently talked about his costar (even before this film) like this :

But yeah, Akki probably wants us to think he’s talking about Hrithik.

Akki has become insufferable off late. Not that he wasn’t before but insecurities are jumping out more visibly. He masked it better earlier.

“I am this and that” “Others are not this and that”

Dude you do your thing and mind your effing business. Make 10 movies a year and piss off 😒

Akshay is jealous that Hrithik invaded his genre (gyani biopics) and struck gold at box office lulz collected more than any of akshays releases.

WAR teaser had equal amount of time both for Hrithik and Tiger. If Hrithik was that insecure he would have cut his time... like you know... akshay does with his costars

Akki is not talking about Hrithik. He is talking about John - with who he is clashing again on Aug 15th.

Wasn't there a blind where John wanted a Solo poster for Sanjay Gupta film and later with others or something?

Akshay is making lot of digs at his colleagues these days. He is coming across as insecure first mocking method actors and now this. Why cannot the Canadian mind his own business?

Would Akki describe Mumbai Saga as two hero?

Though I guess if he’s clashing all bets are off. I still remember Rustom...😡

It's a multi-starrer. Akshay said two-hero subject.

Who else than Hrithik, you think?
