Akshay Kumar Says Perks Shift With Box Office, Recalls Getting Smaller Room Early On

In a new ABP News interview, the actor marks 35 years by reflecting on status signals that rise or fall with recent box-office results.

Overview

  • Kumar said hotel room assignments expand or shrink with the success of an actor’s last release, from presidential suites to standard rooms.
  • He recounted an early two-hero shoot where an unnamed co-star, fresh off a hit, received a bigger room while he was placed in a smaller one.
  • He described recurring low phases with strings of 14–16 flops, saying failures leave him quiet through the weekend before he resets work on Monday.
  • He noted the treatment came from some producers rather than the whole industry and said he chose not to complain, citing his modest upbringing in Chandni Chowk.
  • Coverage placed the remarks alongside his recent and upcoming work, including Jolly LLB 3’s mixed reviews and ₹135.5 crore worldwide, Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangal dated April 2, 2026, and Haiwaan in production.
