Actor Akshay Kumar says his upcoming film ‘Airlift’ is not about the nation, but also saving people. He also said he detests nation-bashing in films.
“It’s (Airlift) not about a nation, it’s about saving people. I hate any kind of nation-bashing in films. I don’t like it,” the actor told the media here on Thursday while promoting his forthcoming film ‘Airlift’.
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, ‘Airlift’ also stars Nimrat Kaur, who was seen in ‘The Lunchbox’.
Akshay plays a character who had a crucial role in the evacuation of Kuwait-based Indians during the Iraq-Kuwait war in 1990.
The story of the film is from the point of view of Akshay’s character who helped Indians get airlifted from Kuwait. As the poster of the film suggests – 1,70,00 refugees, 488 flights, 59 days and one man.
Air India entered into Guinness Book of World Records for the civil airline that had evacuated the most people till date.
Akshay said the pilots of Air India were the biggest heroes.
“Hats off to them,” he added.

@King 1st of all Akshay Kumar has the maximum number of successful movies much more than Salman Khan,Aamir Khan and SRK…But SRK is in the 2nd spot with 26 success,Salman(21 or 22) and Aamir(Less than 20) has less than 25 movies…Akshay Kumar has 35 successful movies…
For grossing Akshay Kumar has already grossed 3000 cr. and he’s the only actor from India who grossed that much amount…No Khans,Rajni Sir and Big B is behind him…So if you ask any one in Bollywood industry that who’s the most successful actor ever in India they’ll say Akshay Kumar…SRK said it…Salman Khan said it…Aamir Khan said it…Even Amitabh Bacchan said it…Don’t believe me…Go watch some videos related this topic…And the most successful film of India is Baahubali not PK or Bajrangi Bhaijaan…Baahubali fetched over 400 cr. in India and over 150 cr. from overseas and become the 1st film of India which netted 600 cr. worldwide(Not grossing figure 607 cr.)…Then we can say that Prabhas is a bigger star than Khans…Any movie will collect over 400 cr. worldwide if the producers waste a huge amount to promote those films…(Ex.- Amazon app was giving a Bajrangi Bhaijaan Pendent to their app users,For PRDP they did a huge promotion,got a solo release in Diwali the best week to earn in India…Dilwale,Happy New Year,Dhoom: 3,PK,Kick,Jai Ho,ETT) Everyone did it except Akshay Kumar…So why a 133 cr. earner becomes blockbuster and gives 72 cr. distributor share just from India…PRDP earned over 200 cr. but the distributor share is much less than RR…Bcz producers wasted a lot of money to promote the film…1st check distributor share then go for collections…
@Eemran So why Khans need a solo release in EDX…They’re afraid to clash even with any newcomer…Forget Tushar Kapoor…If PRDP clashed with KKHH3 or Grand Masti,it never gonna cross 100 cr. in Diwali…I watched Dilwale and it’s watchable but PRDP doesn’t worth a watch even…PRDP is the worst movie of 2015 ahead of Roy…
@King read the above comment,then say…As a Human being Akshay Kumar is doing much more than Khans…But still half of the India suck their dicks like they don’t have their own…Now say who’s the retard me or u and those who’s supporting then after being so many dirty works…Salman killed deer for his breakfast,had relationship with so many even he tortured them,still he says that he’s a virgin,Hit and Run case…And he lied that he didn’t do that…What a lier…If u still supports him go and do research on him…SRK is a good hardworking man,but has black money…Aamir is a cleaver guy…
Akshay Kumar pays full tax to government…Donates without promoting himself…In other hand from Being Human if Salman Khan donates 1 cr. ,he promotes himself of 10 cr. and still say Being Human is for charity purpose…
@movie fan….man u r very ill person yaar….distributor share of prdp is 104crs… u go and check ur facts first…..dont tell me about past man, then akki has highest number of disasters too in the history of indian cinema bro…..he had collected 2800cr or 3000cr as he had done close to 120movies in his entire carrer(without special appearence) so it is very very less compare to khans as they had done only 70-85 movies each and in that salman too is close to 2800 or 3000cr collection…..and if u r talking about highest success ratio then it is just aamir khan tops the list……and akki is no where near to khans….and he will never ever be come close to khans, so forget about beating them….
Hats off to akshay kumar for doing good films in recent years….
@King worldwide distributor share…-_- PRDP grossed 355 cr. worldwide…You should check it first…You’re mentally sick with Khans…You should refresh your mind…
Only for people like u Furious 7 grossed over 100 cr. and Star Wars is way behind(Only in India)…Most of the Indians only like Masala kind of shitty movies…The Revenant isn’t released in India yet…The only reason is most of the Indians doesn’t support good movies…
@king go and open Box Office India page see who’s the most successful actor in India…The page didn’t update for a long time otherwise Akki has over 40 hits and super hits…All 3 Khans came before Akki bcz they’re not hardworking they can’t do that much movies till now…Aamir needs 2 years for a film…Akki loses his 17 kilos just in 1 month for Brothers…And Salman has the most number of disasters…Go and search again…
Gobar’s fans like @paresh and Movie fan are barjing against megastar aamir khan. god bless such jerks. joker kumar is tiny 50-60 cr club star who can never match megastar aamir khan neither in versatility or stardom or popularity.
