Akshay Kumar breaks silence after Samraat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan debacle: 'It is my fault'

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar on Saturday attended the trailer launch of his upcoming film Cuttputlli. This marked his first media interaction after the debacle of his recently-released film Raksha Bandhan. The star's previous release Samraat Prithviraj was also a box office disaster and it is safe to say that Akshay, who was once considered the most bankable actor, is currently going through a lean patch at the box office.
At the event, Akshay opened up about the same. Breaking his silence on the failure of his recent releases, Akshay admitted that his films are not working. He went on to take full responsibility for the same and said that he needs to work on understanding the audience's needs.
"Films are not working. It is our fault. It is my fault. I have to make the changes. I have to understand what the audience wants. I want to do my changes. I want to dismantle my way. Nobody else is to be blamed but it is me, "Akshay Kumar told the media.
Speaking about the upcoming film, Cuttputli will skip theatrical release and start streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar from September 2. Akshay plays a sub-inspector named Arjan Sethi in the film.
In a statement, Akshay said, "Set once upon a time in Kasauli amidst the backdrop of nature's beauty, the film unveils incidents of ugly killings. It's filled with enthralling twists and turns. I play an underdog investigation officer, Arjan Sethi who is on a trail to catch the psychopath killer whose motives are unpredictable and unclear. Here, revenge is an illusion and the last act of the movie is unthinkable and will take you by total surprise - and that's what makes it unique!!"
Apart from this, the superstar also has Selfie and Ram Setu in the pipeline.
