Bollywood’s Unity Crisis: Akshay Vows to Fix It

At 57, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is striving for a much-needed box office success after a string of flops, including Selfiee, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Mission Raniganj. His upcoming film, Sky Force, co-starring Veer Pahariya, has become a crucial project for the actor. In a recent interview promoting the film, Akshay shared his candid thoughts on the state of the Hindi film industry, addressing a topic that has sparked widespread discussion.

During the interview, Akshay said with a heartfelt plea for greater unity in Bollywood. “Although we’re all part of one big family, there’s a noticeable lack of connection among us. We often work in isolation, and that distance is growing. If we come together, support each other’s films, and celebrate successes as a collective, it would have a profound positive impact,” he said, highlighting the need for collaboration and camaraderie in the industry.

Sky Force is set against the historical backdrop of the 1965 Indo-Pakistani air war and tells the story of Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, an unsung hero of the Indian Air Force. Directed by Sandeep Kevlani and Abhishek Anil Kapoor, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur. With its powerful narrative and Akshay’s efforts to reignite his winning streak, the film holds significant promise as it hit theaters on Friday.
