Big directors don't take me in their films: Akshay Kumar

- IANS

Akshay Kumar has revealed the secret behind why he only works with new directors."I work with new directors because big directors don39t take me in their films. That is the truth,a claimed the Bollywood superstar, while interacting with the media at the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Good Newwz".Akshay39s comment came in the wake of an observation by Karan Johar, one of the producers of the film, that he was a star who had worked with many debutant directors.The actor further explained: "When big people don39t take you in their films, you have to start your own journey. If you don39t get a job in a big publication, you will go through a smaller one. From there you jump. You cannot just sit at home and wonder why people don39t take me in their films despite me being so capable."Asked if there was a time when big directors were only interested in working with the Khans, Akshay replied: "They big directors went to the people who deserved. You see, it39s not that only the Khans were around. There were the Kapoors and the others. I presume I didn39t deserve it, so I earned it my way."The actor maintained that even though big filmmakers produce his films, they don39t direct him. "I still don39t have big directors directing me. They are producing films with me, but they are not directing. Mr Karan Johar is there, you should ask him. You should ask Adi Chopra," he said.Sharing his experience of working with newcomer directors, the superstar further said: "Raj Mehta, 39Good Newwz39 director is my 21st new director. I also feel their greed to do good work is far more than many old directors. For them, it is a do or die situation, because they think if the film doesn39t work, then they are finished."However, the actor mentioned, that although he works with new directors, he doesn39t try to guide them as he trusts their capability. "My input is nothing. I am not any kind of guiding force. I have not opened a school. They come, they do their own work. They do a good job, that39s why they are with me. Actually, more than anything else I trust the script and the screenplay. With that 60 per cent of your job is done. The rest is done by the director," he said."Good Newwz" is slated to hit theatres on December 27. The comedy also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani.
