Ektaa Kapoor Thanks Akshay Kumar For Doing Multiple Films A Year: ‘Because of Him, This Industry Flourished’

Akshay Kumar’s recent outing Bhooth Bangla has garnered a good response, and the movie continues to earn at the box office. Amid this, the film’s co-producer, Ektaa Kapoor, took to her Instagram and shared a few pictures of Akshay with her dad Jeetendra, along with a long note thanking the former.

Sharing the pictures, Ektaa wrote, “The time has come for me to say my thank yous… ❤️ This picture of Dad and Akshay Sir reminds me exactly of what discipline can do. They are so similar that every time I talk to Akshay Sir, I feel like I’m talking to my Dad… Their discipline and their belief in the producer’s conviction, along with deep trust and respect, is just wonderful!”

It has been a point of discussion why Akshay Kumar does multiple films a year.

Ektaa added, “These two men are the reason the commerce of our industry is alive and why producers continue to have some agency. Doing a few films with top directors once in a while only sustains one layer of the industry… For an industry to thrive, you need actors who work regularly so that every producer gets a chance.

The pure commerce these two men have brought is rarely appreciated. So, every time someone asks, ‘Why does Akshay Kumar do four films a year?’ know it’s because of the Dharmendras, the Jeetendras, and the Akshays that this industry flourished.”

Concluding her note, Ektaa wrote, “In volume, there is job creation. That is what they bring to the table! Thank you, Akshay Sir, for giving every producer, from the top to the mid-sized, a chance to put their best foot forward! Love you, Guruji! ❤️ @akshaykumar”
