Akshay Kumar made his way out of the polling booth and stopped for a short interaction with the media outside. The actor posed for the camera, showing off his inked finger, and urged everyone to perform their duty as aware citizens, and cast their vote. When asked what he would like to say about the importance of the day. Akshay shared that he is impressed with the arrangements made, especially for the senior citizens, and the most important thing is that everyone should exercise their voting rights. He stated:
"Sabse acchi baat hai intazaam accha kiya hua hai, bohot accha kiya hua hai. Mai dekh raha tha ki senior citizen ke liye bohot accha intazaam kiya hua hai. Bohot safaai rakhi hui hai. And bas aaj yehi hai ki sab log aai, vote karey. That is the most important thing."
On the professional front, Akshay didn't have the best year. The actor had four releases this year. However, none seemed to have charmed the audience. The actor was seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, along with Tiger Shroff, which was one of the most anticipated films yet failed to impress the critics and audiences. He was then seen in Sarfira, the Hindi remake of the Tamil film, Soorarai Pottru, for which his performance was lauded. Still, the film did not perform well.
Akshay then appeared in the multi-starrer Khel Khel Mein, which was well-received by the critics but again failed to work its magic at the box office. His recent appearance was in Singham Again, which emerged as a massive hit. Akshay also has a string of films in the pipeline. His upcoming films include Welcome 3, Skyforce, C Sankaran Biopic, Jolly LLB, Housefull 5, Hera Pheri 3, and Bhooot Bangla.
