Akshay Kumar had 14 flops in a row, but he is still No. 1 today, says 'this superstar' on failure of his recent Bollywood release
Punjabi superstar Gippy Grewal's second Bollywood release, Lucknow Central was released with high expectations at the Box Office. Directed by Ranjit Tiwari aand ointly produced by Nikhil Advani, Monisha Advani, Madhu G Bhojwani and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, the film also starred Farhan Akthar and Diana Penty in pivotal roles.
However, much to the disappoinmtnet of Gippy Grewal fans, Lucknow Central turned out to be one of the Biggest Bollywood disasters of 2017.
In a recent interview to a leading daily, Gippy Grewal had stated that he is not affected with the failure of his second Bollywood outing. He went on to say that even superstar Akshay Kumar had deleivered 14 flops in a row becoming the number one star of Bollywood.
“Mujhe nahi lagta aisa kuchh hota hai. As I have said earlier also, my target is to do just one Bollywood film a year, because I have many Punjabi film commitments such as Carry On Jatta 2, so they will take up most of my time. I have always felt that every artist just needs to do his/her work with dedication. I have seen a lot of artists who have had a string of super flop films, but they were appreciated so much that they never had a shortage of work.”
“Aap Akshay (Kumar) paaji ko lijiye. He had back-to-back 14 flops, but he’s still number 1 today. This proves that only your work needs to be good", Gippy Grewal said.
Gippy Grewal's upocming Punjabi films include Subedar Joginder Singh, Carry On Jatta 2, Manje Bistre 2, Sheera and Pind Da Prince.
