Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan recently grabbed attention when she stated that she wouldn’t watch Toilet: Ek Prem Katha simply because of the word "Toilet" in the title. Her comments sparked quite a conversation, especially given the film's socially relevant message. So, when Akshay Kumar attended the press conference for Kesari Chapter 2 in Mumbai, the subject came up, and his response was impressively gracious.

When asked about Jaya Bachchan’s comments, Akshay responded humbly, saying, “If she feels that way, maybe she’s right; I’m not sure. If I made a mistake by creating Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, then perhaps she has a point.” His straightforward reply reflected his dedication to respectful dialogue, even when faced with criticism.

For some background, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was more than just a movie; it was a significant movement. Directed by Shree Narayan Singh and featuring Bhumi Pednekar, the film addressed the sensitive issues of sanitation and open defecation in rural India, aligning with the Swachh Bharat Mission. It resonated with viewers, becoming Akshay’s highest-grossing film at that time and receiving widespread praise for its impactful message.

Meanwhile, Akshay is preparing for his upcoming film, Kesari Chapter 2, a historical courtroom drama inspired by the book The Case That Shook the Empire. Set against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the film features R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday alongside Kumar and is produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films. With social themes at its heart once again, Akshay continues to merge entertainment with meaningful content, all while maintaining his signature grace.
