I'm a commercial hero- Akshay Kumar
By Riyanki Das Chowdhury
Mumbai: Khiladi Kumar Akshay states that low-budget films are not viable for actors like me.
During the music launch of "Patiala House" he stated "Big and established stars like Shahrukh Khan or Salman Khan or me cannot venture for low-budget films like Udaan or Tere Bin Laden because high box office returns are expected from our films."
He added "I have seen the business of these films. There is a very niche audience for such films."
He said further, "When Shah Rukh, Salman or even I… do a film we have to collect a certain amount of money through our films so that distributors and exhibitors get their money back."
Akshay says that he is a commercial hero and will continue to be so. He is also of the view that in the near future low-budget films will have a greater audience.
