'Mara nahi hoon': Akshay Kumar says he will keep working despite failures, says 'apne dum pe kamata hoon'

Akshay Kumar has been through a bad phase at the box office. But that doesn't stop him from working. On Friday, Akshay launched the trailer of Khel Khel Mein at an event with cast members, including Fardeen Khan, Ammy Virk, Vaani Kapoor, and director Mudassar Aziz. 

After the trailer preview, the cast interacted with the media. During the press conference, a journalist asked Akshay his take on going through a bad phase, despite giving his best efforts. Akshay narrated a short story, and then he said that he would keep working till his haters would 'shoot him down'. 

Akshay also said people messaged him saying, "'Bahut bura hua, don't worry you'll be back'. Main usko bolta hoon, gaya kaha hoon, yehi hoon, mara nahi hoon. Kaam karte rahunga. Humesha kaam karte rahunga. Chahe log kuch bhi bole. Jo bhi kamata hoon, apne dum pe kamata hoon. Kisi se kuch manga nahi kabhi (I tell them that I never left. I'll keep working, no matter what. I've earned my money on my own. I've never asked any help from anyone)." He further said, "I'll keep working till they have to shoot me down." 

On the work front, Akshay Kumar has faced major setbacks at the box office. His films, including Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Samrat Prithviraj, Bachchhan Paandey, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Selfiee, and Sarfira were commercial disasters.
