The star is known to be part of many patriotic films such as Airlift, Padman, Toilet - Ek Prem Katha, as well as _Mission Mangal_ . Akshay on his unsuccessful films Before _OMG 2_ , the actor’s films were not doing well commercially, and this is what he said in a statement, “A film not working at the box office is due to your own fault. The audience has changed and thus you need to change and dismantle yourself. You have to start again because the audience needs to see something else.”

Further sharing a golden piece of advice, Kumar went on to say that this should be taken as an ‘alarm’ to realise that it is time for bringing a change. Taking complete responsibility for his films’ failures, he said, “I am trying to change. But there is no place to blame the audience or anyone else. A film’s poor performance is not because of the audience but because of what you selected.”
