Akki regrets doing Blue


It took him three months to accept that Kambakkht Ishq was a bad film but it took just a week for Akshay to regret doing Blue.


While Blue did have a good opening considering the hype created around the film, critics and audiences panned the film outright. It wasn’t worth all the hype and had several loopholes. Other than the soulful music, Blue had nothing to boast about. However, what’s most surprising is Akshay, who had high hopes from the film, commented on the numerous bad reviews in only a week's time, saying to the press, ‘It hurts to hear negative reviews about a film but, yes, Blue lacked soul. I did the film simply for the action.’ Still, what’s surprising is that pretty much most of the action sequences were carried out by stuntmen in the film and it was clearly visible when Akki would get switched with the stuntman, so what action is he talking about in the first place?

An industry source adds, “Akshay is always known to have pulled out the faults of his flop films, and he did so earlier with Tasveer 8*10 as well. Akshay had said that films such as these with no song and dance hardly work and that his fans would have been disappointed watching him in a serious role. This, however, didn’t go down too well with the producers of the film, who dissed him publicly about him being no superstar but a media-created one. Even after Kambakkht Ishq, for which he had a lavish success party, he went on to agree about the film being vulgar and mindless. Blue, for which Akshay was battling for the lead hero status along with having several tiffs with Sanjay, left him red-faced when Sanjay was laughing all the way to the BO with All The Best, which is surprisingly doing well in theatres. Akki was desperately waiting for a hit after the spate of flops, and considering that his upcoming films don’t show much promise as well, everyone’s advising him to make smart decisions and soon.”

Anthony D’souza himself agreed with StarBoxOffice, saying, “Yes, there were certain loopholes, which every director notices later on. However, it’s a part and parcel of filmmaking, and it only helps one to grow.” He, however, had no regrets in doing the film and is planning another action film with Akshay again. We won't be surprised if Akshay signs it, as he’s also doing Patiala House with Nikhil Advani, who made the disastrous Chandni Chowk to China with him. If only Akshay would bring a change in the choice of his films rather than crying over split milk all the time!
