Akshay Kumar: Comedy is the toughest genre, never got its due in film industry
•Akshay Kumar states comedy is the toughest genre in filmmaking, yet it rarely receives proper recognition or Best Actor awards.
•He credits filmmakers Priyadarshan, Rajkumar Santoshi, and the late Neeraj Vora for teaching him the nuances of comedy.
•The actor, who has done 150 films, emphasizes his disciplined approach: reading scripts over 100 times and completing films in 50-55 days.
•Kumar reflected on his career, including 16-17 back-to-back flops, and his desire to keep working until 'shot down' by the industry.
•He discussed changing audience preferences, citing 'Stree' and 'Dhurandhar,' and upcoming projects like 'Bhooth Bangla,' 'Welcome to the Jungle,' and 'Golmaal 5.'
