In defending Akshay Kumar

Recently, Paresh backed Akshay for taking on numerous films in a year and mentioned to Siddharth Kannan, “Honestly, what is your problem if he does so many films? People approach him to create the films, correct? As a producer, I would hire an actor only if I can justify the money I am investing. He just enjoys working. He isn’t smuggling, bootlegging, selling drugs, or gambling. He is simply working as much as he can. More importantly, his films provide jobs for thousands. What is the issue? ”
