SRK Vs Akshay Kumar: Did Akshay go wrong? - Page 2

Akshay didn't screw up. Ekta did. Should've never postponed the film. They shud've come at Eid with a bang. WOM wouldn't have mattered. Screen count would've been a bit less but the holiday factor would've more than made up for it. Most importantly, CE wouldn't have gained the momentum that it had when OUATIMD released. Just like SOS which was trashed left right and centre and still managed to collect just as much as JTHJ, OUATIMD would've fared the same. Should've learnt something from YPD2 earlier this year, whose makers made the same mistake releasing it a week after YJHD. Releasing a film 6 days after another that's on a dream run was a death wish and that's exactly what happened. RIP

This. 👍🏼

It was indeed Ekta who ruined it, maybe Akshay wasn't happy with the decision himself? Because Akshay doesn't promote films he isn't happy with and films he doesn't believe in, himself.

Well he is called King for a reason 😉

Oh please, Akshay didn't screw up.

Why would he screw up? he gave his best to the film.

Now as for King Khan being the "KING" and all, no one is forever the king

He just got a plus for releasing on eid, that's that. 

People can't afford to watch 2 films back to back with family.

If both were released together, then the real competition would arise.

Agreed with Nadz...if you don't endorse te final product, then why the hell do you even immerse yourself in it. That is highly unprofessional of Akshay

That's like abandoning your wife and your child after she gives birth to your baby who isn't as good looking as you had hoped for...but that won't change the fact that its still your baby.

My analogy is weird but hope my point is clear 😆 Edited by abby_girl30 - 10 years ago

Well everyone looks at it from his/her own perspective. During Joker, Akshay was promised something else.. but eventually it didn't happen so Akshay finished the last few days of the shoot like a professional and after that boycotted the promotions. Why should he promote the film when he doesn't believe in it himself anymore because he was promised something else? And just because Akki doesn't create a whole havoc involving the media doesn't mean he is the unprofessional one. Infact, it shows that he doesn't care about such nonsense but does what he and his fans want.

I along with a few people had let him know that we didn't agree with the postponing, maybe he didn't either? Whats wrong in that? He is a influential star and has every right to be involved in deciding the release date etc. and if Ekta doesn't agree then hopefully she has realized it now.

^^ your analogy is indeed weird. Comparing a film with children doesn't make sense. Anyhow, this article doesn't even seem completely true so I'll just stop here.Edited by K.Sean - 10 years ago

^girl now you are just defending him. Try to look at the issue without being biased towards Akshay.

When he got paid for the movie...he gets paid to act + promote...you can't leave the producer hanging in the middle by finishing half the job. If he had some grudges against Shirish it should have been discussed personally and not by abandoning the film.

If he wasn't given what was promised, he should still have suck it up like a man & gone ahead for promotions. Now you tell me if the Joker movie was produced by Akshay himself...do you think he would have abandoned it like that?? HECK NO cz its his money involved here

@Abby: Did you see the promo for Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Season 2? The hero has been completely modelled on Emraan's characters.
