At an occasion last month, veteran actor and Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan made headlines by making fun of the title of Akshay Kumar’s 2017 movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Jaya said she would never view a film with such a title after hearing the critically praised film’s title and calling it a “flop.” This outraged a number of internet users, who cited how, in addition to being a huge hit, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha brought attention to the need to end open defecation and improve sanitary standards in India. Akshay Kumar has finally spoken out about the issue.
Akshay Kumar was asked today at a promotional event for his next movie, Kesari Chapter 2, if it hurts when other industry celebrities trash his work. “Critisising, mujhe nahi lagta hai kisi ne criticise kiya hai woh filmon ko,” the superstar said in response to this. To critique the film Banayi Hai Maine, Pad Man Banayi Hai, Koi bewakoof hi hoga jo. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha hai, Airlift hai, Kesari 1 banayi thi, Kesari 2 hai. Aap hi bata dijiye. Toh koi bewakoof hi hoga jo iss filmon ko critique karega, aisi bohot saari filmein hain. Apne dil se banayi hai aur maine.
