Akshay Kumar has defended his latest film ‘Mission Raniganj’ after a poor box office performance by saying that is not a typical 'commerical film'.
Akshay on 'Mission Raniganj' not being commercial film
‘Mission Raniganj’ earned Rs 2.8 crore on its first day and it now stands at Rs 15 crore net, Indian Express reported. In an interview with Times Now, Akshay said that the film ranks as one of his best. “It is not a commercial film. It has not earned as much as it should have earned."
"But, I have come here knowing that the film has not done well, to own the film–and I have done some 150 films by now–and say that this is one of my best films,” he said.
When he was asked about actors not owning their films when they don’t do well, Akshay added, “Main ulta hu (I am the opposite). Film has not worked, but I want to own up and say it is my best film.”
