Akshay Kumar Says He Doesn't Act In Films For Money Anymore; 'I Am Working Today For Passion'

Akshay Kumar, who is currently busy with the promotions of his upcoming film Bachchhan Paandey, recently said that he works round-the-clock for his passion towards cinema and not for money. He added that he will stop working the day he realizes that he is disinterested in his work.

PTI quoted the Khiladi Kumar as saying, "I choose to go to work in the morning and take a break on Sundays. If you continue to work everyday, then easily you have many films in the pipeline. Everyone was working in the pandemic, including the policemen, media photographers and others. Everyone has to earn money."

He further added, "Today I have everything in life, I lead a good life. I can easily sit at home and not earn but what about others who want to work (and earn money)? I am working today not because of money but for passion. The day I feel disinterested is when I will stop working."

The superstar also said that he gets surprised when people ask him how he manages to shoot so many projects in a year.
