Akshay Kumar is presently promoting his forthcoming film Samrat Prithviraj, which is due to hit theatres this summer. Miss World makes her Bollywood debut in this film, which also stars Manushi Chillar. While the actor was preoccupied with film promotions, he recently drew the attention of netizens when he hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Indian cinema’s international success.
During his most recent interview, Akshay not only discussed Indian cinema’s internationalisation, but also spoke up on his much-discussed interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In an interview with ANI, Akshay was asked about India’s internationalisation and his postponed trip to Cannes. He said, “All thanks to our PM who has taken us in such a huge way internationally. Things changing for our country.” Well, soon after the video surfaced, fans trolled the actor for crediting away Indian Cinema’s success.
During the same interview, Akshay Kumar also said, “As a common man, I just wanted to ask him (PM Narendra Modi) very simple, straight questions. It is not my work to ask about the policies, what he is doing and what not… I was honoured to sit with him and talk to him. The best part about our Prime Minister is that he knows how to mould himself. If he is talking to me he will mould himself towards me, if he is talking to children he will be according to their age. The ability to mould himself is a great thing in him.”

Commenting on the videos a user wrote, “You better ask PM what does he think about you, he will surely say that I think you are my chela and my big dalaal.”
While another said, “Common men/women doesn’t ask such stupid questions (why wearing wrist watch in particular position, passing comic comments to country’s PM). PS: At-least he should ask (or show some serious concern about distress of Mango People which somehow affects rich/super-rich as well.”
Irony is that a common man would have asked him better quality questions, especially questions about his failed policies.
