Akshay Kumar’s recent film choices don't reflect political leanings but carefully crafted image to stay relevant

Firstpost  

There’s been a lot of talk about Akshay Kumar’s political leanings recently. But for those who have closely followed Akshay’s career, this is probably far from a much simpler truth: one that has to do with a carefully crafted image, an image that keeps him relevant. While it became one of the most talked about films of that year, what’s most interesting in hindsight is the brand new persona that Akshay Kumar donned for it. If Akshay’s first transformation was about a changeover from ‘Khiladi’ to versatile comedian and romantic hero, the last five years have been a complete metamorphosis. Gone are the last vestiges of ‘Akki’; this new Akshay Kumar is a larger-than-life character that reflects the growing populism of the world’s largest democracy.
