Akshay Kumar has revealed the secret behind why he only works with new directors. “I work with new directors because big directors don’t take me . the actor said while interacting with the media ahead of the release of his film .
Akshay’s comment came in the wake of an observation by Karan Johar, one of the producers of the film, that he was a star who had worked with many debutant directors.
Asked if there was a time when big directors were only interested in working with the Khans, Akshay replied: “They went to the people who deserved. You see, it’s not that only the Khans were around. There were the Kapoors and the others. I presume I didn’t deserve it, so I earned it my way.”
The actor maintained that even though big filmmakers produce his films, they don’t direct him. “I still don’t have big directors . They are producing films with me, but they are not directing. Mr Karan Johar is there, you should ask him. You should ask Adi Chopra,” he said.
