Akshay Kumar and Yash Raj Films’ recent big budget periodic action entertainer Samrat Prithviraj ended up as a disaster in terms of box office returns. The film is one of the biggest disasters of all time.
In an interaction with the media, YRF producer, Mr. Chopra hinted that Akshay Kumar is not a dedicated actor.
“Akshay didn’t even grow a real beard for the film despite our requests. We needed a more dedicated person for the central role in a film as big as this one,” he stated.
The director of the film Chandraprakash too maintained a similar tone as he said Bobby Dheol would’ve been the right fit for the film rather than Akshay Kumar.
The film was made on a budget of Rs 200 crores and it barely made Rs 60-70 crores at the box office.
