When Akshay Kumar Exposed The Double Standards Of Film Critics For Criticising His Hit Film Andaaz
Good film reviews matter for many actors, but there are some stars who are least bothered about it. Akshay Kumar has always been one of them. The actor believes in hard work and once he completes his film, he leaves everything in the hands of the audiences. On that note, we bring to you an old interview of Akshay, wherein he had called out the double-standards of the film critics, for looking down on his film Andaaz, which ended up being a blockbuster at the box office despite the bad reviews.
Here's How Akshay Had Reacted..
While reacting to critics trashing his performance and the film, Akshay had said, "I was hoping they (critics) would. Whenever they like a film, it fails. These things do not matter. Even awards do not matter."

He had further added, "There have been times when I have been approached to perform at award functions and, in return, been promised an award. Film criticism and recognition are about being in the good books of those who control these matters. Right now, I am very happy about Andaaz. The industry needs hits."
Akshay On Skin Show In Andaaz
While Andaaz was an instant hit, the film also received flak from a certain section of audiences over the skin show in the film. When Akshay was asked to share his take on the controversy, he had defended the film and said, "The two girls did whatever the role demanded. Priyanka played a brash character, so she could not be seen in a sari all the time, could she?"
Akshay Called Andaaz A 'Social Drama'
"I don't think there's too much of a skin show in Andaaz. It's more of a social drama and that's what is attracting audiences. They love the last 35 minutes of Andaaz when the heroines turn out to be sisters-in-law. They have never seen anything like this before," added the Khiladi actor.
Cut to present, Akshay still doesn't care much about the film critics and rather focuses on audiences' reaction to his film.
