I literally work on a time-table: Akshay

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar had a reputation for having multiple films lined up in a single year. This has however resulted in him going through rough patches with no hits quite often. “The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the dynamics of the film industry. With audiences being more selective about their cinema outings, it has become crucial to choose projects that offer something completely entertaining and unique. I’ve become more mindful of the content, ensuring that it resonates with the current times and provides an experience that justifies a trip to the theatre. It’s about finding stories that not only entertain but also connect deeply with the audience,” Akshay Kumar said in an interaction with Forbes India.

While many other actors would prioritise personal space and limit the number of projects they sign up for, Akshay gets energised by being on the sets. Akshay highlighted the interrelatedness of his physical activity routine and work ethic. “My biggest strength has been my discipline and work ethic. I literally work on a time-table… I sleep, eat and work at a particular time, and shoot for a specific number of hours. I have followed this for years. Staying fit—both mentally and physically—has also played a crucial role in my longevity in the industry. The motivation comes from a genuine love for what I do and to continue making films on which so many livelihoods depend. Also, the support and love from my fans fuel my passion and commitment in this journey,” Akshay added.
