Jagan
Shakti's
Mission
Mangal
starring
Akshay
Kumar,
Vidya
Balan,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Kirti
Kulhari
and
Nithya
Menen
in
the
lead
roles
is
currently
performing
pretty
well
at
the
box
office.
The
film
released
on
the
special
eve
of
Independence
Day
and
locked
horns
with
John
Abraham's
Batla
House
but
despite
the
clash,
the
film
has
been
pulling
crowds
at
the
theatres.
Recently,
while
promoting
Mission
Mangal,
Vidya
Balan
spoke
about
Akshay
Kumar's
hands
in
pulling
crowds
at
the
theatres
and
told
media,
"There
is
no
denying
that
the
biggest
star
in
this
film
and
one
of
the
biggest
stars
in
the
country
is
Akshay
Kumar.
When
you
talk
about
the
business
of
a
film,
you
talk
in
terms
of
the
male
actor."
"But
things
are
changing,
we
have
headlined
films,
our
films
are
doing
well.
Hopefully,
in
a
few
years,
this
change
will
also
happen.
But
as
of
today,
when
you
talk
about
the
business
of
a
film,
you
do
say
that
an
Akshay
Kumar
film
has
earned
this
much."
Speaking
of
actresses
pulling
crowds
at
the
theatres,
Vidya
said
that
she
hopes
that
very
soon,
actresses
will
also
be
able
to
pull
crowds
just
like
male
stars
as
in
the
last
ten
years,
things
have
changed
drastically.
Vidya
Balan
is
elated
with
the
success
of
the
film
and
she's
happy
that
audiences
are
coming
out
of
the
theatres,
while
praising
the
film.
At
the
same
event,
when
Vidya
was
asked
why
doesn't
she
pair
up
with
Akshay
anymore,
she
said
that
the
duo
doesn't
get
offers
much.
To
which
Akshay
interrupted
and
said,
"I
wanted
her
in
two
or
three
projects
but
she
said
she
was
getting
married." Vidya
was
quick
to
shot
back
at
Akshay
and
said,
"So,
you
don't
work
with
married
heroines?"
