In this Idea Exchange moderated by Vipin Pubby, Resident Editor, The Indian Express, Chandigarh, Actor Akshay Kumar talks about his Punjabi roots and the 3D film he is shooting for
Charanjit Ahuja: Films these days are technically far superior than ever before but why is that the soul, the message is missing ?
Akshay Kumar: I don’t think people go to watch films for messages. Look at last year’s releases, the major hits have been pure entertainers, like Golmaal 3 and Dabangg. Rarely do we get a script like 3 Idiots which is entertaining and has a message. The people who are watching cinema are truck drivers, the rickshaw-wallahs, the auto-rickshaw guys—people who want entertainment. You may say it is sad, but people just enjoy entertainment, that’s the truth—their cinema is paisa vasool cinema. I too have enjoyed Golmaal 3 and Dabangg, but having a film with a soul and a message and which is entertaining is sone pe suhaga.
