What Akshay said

Akshay argued that success in any field is 70% luck and 30% hard work. He quoted the example of some movies which don't enough critical acclaim, but go on to become blockbusters, and vice-versa. He added that the only way to go about achieving success that's evading you is by keep on working.

“Mujhe ye kai log poochhte hain ki aap saal ki 4 filmein karte hain. Main kyu nahi karu? Jab mujhe kaam mil raha hai, toh main kaam ko bolu ki mat aa mere pas (A lot of people ask me why I do four films a year. Why should I not do it? If I'm getting work, should I reject it?),” Akshay ask.

“I tell them, ‘Keep on working. Things will be better, but do good quality work, give your best and keep on working,’” Akshay added. He said that there are “different” kinds of actors like some who only want to do only one film a year or even one film in four years. Akshay said they're also right in their approach as it's about the perspective.
