Akshay has been a part of a few franchises throughout his career. Singh is Kinng, Hera Pheri and a few others but he recently backed out of Hera Pheri 3 because he was not satisfied with the script of the film.

At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, the actor said, “The film was offered to me and I was told about it. But the screenplay, script and everything, I was not satisfied, not happy with it. I have to do what people want to see and that is why I backed out, I took a step behind. For me, it’s a part of me, my life, my journey, in a huge way. Mujhe bhi bahut dukh ho raha hai. Main khud bhi bahut dukhi hun iss baat se ki main kar nahi paa raha hun (I am also very upset. I am very upset with teh fact that I won’t be doing it) because I’m not happy with how things have shaped up. That’s why I backed out.”

Akshay had a disappointing 2022 with films like Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Bachchan Pandey, Samrat Prithviraj and Cuttputlli. He will next be seen in Selfiee with Emraan Hashmi and Mrunal Thakur. The Raj Mehta directorial releases in theatres on February 24.
