Won’t join politics, India has progressed under PM Modi: Akshay Kumar

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has said he has no interest whatsoever in joining politics, but would continue to contribute to “nation-building” through his films.

“I want to remain in the film industry, that way (I can) contribute more to nation-building” Akshay said.

The actor also added that India has made significant progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after he was elected with a majority in 2014.

“We have made a lot of progress in the last three years under Prime Minister Modi, but the work is not over. I think I can contribute with my movies in the same way you contribute with your pen” the ‘Rustom’ star said.

Akshay awaits the release of ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ which hopes to spread awareness on PM’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The film releases in theatres during the Independence Day weekend.

  • There is NO WAY you can join POLITICS. You are not an Indian by nationality and are living in India under POI Visa. So no way!

  • @Don 2, there are several video statements (shot before the rise of Akki’s patriotic feelings a few years back) in which he was calling Canada his home. So, he knew what he was doing.

    @Atul, yes. East (India) or West (Canada), Akki is the best. Lol

  • While Akki promoting his film Toilet all over meeting Modi and using his name, Salman’s Being Human has silently built Toilets in slum areas in Mumbai without too much hype out of it.

  • tepk lifetime collection,domestic-100-120 croe..worldwide-180-200 croe…JHMS,domestic,150-180 croe,worldwide-300-320…so there will be 100 croe difference…that’s why srk is the king of bollywood and akki is just a khalidi of srk’s kingdom…

  • @Damm HE is a fan of modiji evn before he started making movies like baby,AIRLIFT,TEPK…YOU should know from hw long akshay is praising him…right frm 2014 when he did entertainmt & shaukeens….

  • I don’t know y the some section of community always against Akshay sir.? Hence we also boycott Khan’s film in religious manner.

  • After watching TEPK trailer..
    I realised this will wash out against #JHMS.

    Aur woh kahte hai SRK is umar mein love story kyun karta hai…toh ye kya hai.. title mein hi Prem Katha hai..??

  • At least he is giving something back to society by helping poor farmers and martyr soldiers families…. Not like fake mega stars who do nothing fir country except making money by any means and no intention to give back to society…

  • Akki is a good human being he was born and raised in india he then became canadian citizen so haters bark all u want akki is an indian first then canadian I understand u guys are feeling extremely uncomfortable ever since akki started doing good films.Tepk will possibly beat rowdy rathore’s record and could become his highest grosser.
