During the newest version of Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, when requested concerning the standing of his passport, Kumar stated he knew he could be requested this query. “Having a Canadian passport doesn’t say I’m any much less of an Indian. I’m very a lot Indian. I acquired my passport could also be 9 years in the past. I don’t need to get into the explanation, why, what occurred, my movies weren’t doing effectively and blah, blah.

“Yes I had said that in 2019. Then I applied for it, but then after that pandemic happened and everything was shut for two and a half years. I have received my renounce letter and very soon my passport will be coming,” the actor stated.

Akshay had earlier opened up about his citizenship and stated he feels damage if individuals query his love for the nation. The actor is commonly ridiculed by being referred to as “Canadian Kumar”.

“I feel sad that people have stuck to this point that I have to show my passport to prove that I’m an Indian. It hurts me. So I don’t want to give anyone an opportunity and so I have applied for it,” Akshay had stated in 2019.

This 12 months, the actor delivered 4 consecutive flops including to a largely uninteresting 12 months that Bollywood has witnessed on the field workplace. Akshay stated it’s time to dismantle every little thing and start once more.

Akshay, who based on a number of business sources is the best paid Bollywood actor, stated even he has slashed his charge in the present day. “I have to reduce my price by at least 30-40 percent…. It is recession time also; we have to understand the pain of the audience. They also have a limited amount of money to spend on entertainment. Everything has to change.”

This 12 months, Akshay was seen on the massive display screen in  Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Ram Setu, all field workplace duds.
