Superstar
Akshay
Kumar
in
his
recent
interview
with
a
news
portal,
shared
his
opinion
on
the
trend
of
South
remakes
in
the
Hindi
Film
Industry.
The
actor
has
been
a
part
of
films
like
Rowdy
Rathore,
Laxmii
and
Bachchaan
Paandey
which
were
all
South
remakes.
He
has
two
more
remakes
(Selfiee
and
a
yet-to-be-titled
film
with
Rakul
Preet
Singh)
in
the
pipeline.
Akshay
told
India
Today,
"Someone
questioned
me
in
the
morning
about
remakes
and
why
are
we
remaking
it?
I
asked
why
not!
What
is
the
problem?
Is
there
a
problem
in
remaking?
OMG,
Oh
My
God!
,
my
film
was
remade
in
Telugu
and
became
a
huge
hit.
Their
Rowdy
Rathore
we
remade
and
worked
for
all
of
us.
Why
does
anyone
have
a
problem?
Why
shouldn't
it
happen?
People
question
on
remix
songs,
why
shouldn't
we
remix?
There
are
originals
being
made
and
then
there
are
remakes,
why
is
anyone
having
a
problem
with
them
coexisting?
If
a
good
film
is
being
made
in
South
and
we
buy
its
rights
and
remake
it,
what
is
wrong
in
it?"
He
added,
"People
question
our
talent.
It
is
not
about
talent,
we
all
have
it,
it
is
about
the
story
connecting
with
the
audience.
Now
people
on
Twitter
have
become
critics
and
want
to
have
an
opinion
on
everything.
Why?
I
would
say
don't
get
carried
away.
We
are
all
trying
to
do
our
work."
In
the
same
interview,
the
Hera
Pheri
star
also
reacted
to
language
debate
and
said
that
it's
unfortunate
that
it's
happening
and
everyone
is
becoming
a
victim
of
it.
Speaking
about
how
he
hopes
that
one
day
this
debate
will
end,
he
said,
"Why
can't
we
be
called
one
industry?
Why
are
we
being
called
the
North
and
South
industry?
All
our
languages
are
good,
we
are
talking
our
mother
tongues
and
we
are
all
beautiful.
It
is
unfortunate
that
we
keep
dividing
ourselves."
Recently,
Ajay
Devgn
and
Kiccha
Sudeep's
verbal
duel
on
Twitter
over
Hindi
language
had
sparked
off
a
controversy.
With
respect
to
work,
Akshay
Kumar
is
currently
busy
with
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
historical
film
Prithviraj
in
which
he
is
paired
opposite
debutante
and
former
beauty
queen
Manushi
Chhillar.
The
film
is
helmed
by
Dr
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi.
