Irrfan Khan in 2017 predicted that films that were working back then will not work after a few years and indirectly warned Akshay Kumar who now has nine back to back flops.
Akshay Kumar is one of the most commonly recognised stars in Bollywood. The star, known for giving back-to-back hits at the box office, suddenly experienced a dry spell. His last nine films failed at the box office, which sparked a wave of criticism from netizens, who pointed out different reasons for the debacle. However, in an old round table conference video, the late actor, Irrfan Khan predicted this downfall of the actor, which is a clear testament to the late actor's visionary outlook.
Irrfan Khan was one of the most talented actors in India. From Hollywood to Bollywood, everyone was in awe of his talent, and every aspiring actor wanted to be like him. April 29, 2020, was one such day when the nation felt the pain of losing someone close and special when the actor left for his heavenly abode. However, people to date remember his astonishing acting and look back upon his golden words.
In 2017, ace actors like Irrfan Khan, Akshay Kumar, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, and film critic, Rajeev Masand sat for a round table conversation. Therein, Irrfan Khan predicted that Indian audiences will evolve with time as they are exposed to international content. This is why films that worked during that time will not work in the next few years.
Soon after Irrfan Khan's prediction, Akshay Kumar quipped, "Tu kharab kar raha hai humari industry ko yeh bol ke. Dangerous zone". But Irrfan Khan counter-attacked and said "Jo hone hai woh toh hai hai." Rajkumar Rao and other members of the table agreed with Irrfan Khan.
