EP-105 | Canadian Citizenship Row, Movies, Fitness & Vimal ad controversy with Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar is an actor and producer with a career spanning over 150 films who also has two national awards to his name. He has also been awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2009 for his contribution to the field of arts. He is affectionately known as the 'Khiladi Kumar' of Bollywood due to his fearless portrayal of action-packed roles, often performing his stunts without the use of body doubles. He is a trained martial artist who started his career as a stuntperson in Bollywood. In this edition of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, he talks about his admiration for films that convey meaningful social messages and stories of individuals who have made a difference through their acts. He also talks about his latest movie Mission Raniganj, which has hit theatres and is based on the rescue of miners by an engineer from an underground mine situated in eastern India. The Airlift actor also explains about his fitness regime and his strong belief in Hinduism. He also talks about the recent controversy over a new advertisement for a tobacco product brand and opens up on the controversy surrounding his Canadian citizenship.

Issey kya hi fark padta hai dear, main jab chhoti thi tab dono ki hi filmon ka kaafi craze tha, 2000s ke zamaane mein dono ki saath aayi films or alag aayi films bhi khoob enjoy ki. Jab Priyettan Bollywood se chale jaane ke baad jab wo apni family problems or apni beemari se joojh rahe they tab zara bhi khayal nahi tha unka ki wo kahan or kis haal mein honge, jab institutes mein interview deti thi to mere favorite filmmaker ka naam poochte they to Priyettan ka hi khayal aata tha, tab log sochte they ki main Malayalam viewer hoon, jab maine unki Malayalam films dekhi to wo mujhe or zyada acche lagne lage. Akki ke khilaaf koi negativity to nahi ki maine. Main kisi ki bhi fan pehle bani hoon lekin yeh hai ki I like both. I don't know what problem you have ki agar mera koi favorite director bhi ho ya koi actress pasand ho, cinema meri padhai ka hissa hai to ab maine khud ko ek actor ka fan hi nahi manna chahti, ab bas kaam hai mera ki main alag alag filmmakers or actors ka kaam dekhun. Or badi baat yeh bhi hai ki Akkians believe that Priyettan made Akki leave action movies but Akki unki hamesha izzat hi karta hai.@@praneethkumar2341

Baat karein Paresh sir or Sharman ki so they are character artists and being their fans is not a big deal as the person exploring cinema can like as many character artists they want.(I even like Southie character artists). I still have no hate for Akki but you taunting me for not liking action and just saying that I must see 90s films, abusing me when I was complaining of being bored while seeing Ashaant as well as saying that I hate his 90s look(jabki I just said that I feel better in 2000s things compared to the era I have not seen, this does not mean I hate 90s look and even spreading negativity against me in the fandom.

The most basic responsibility of being an Indian citizen is to vote. He doesn’t vote. Neither did he reapply for Indian citizenship to to be able to do so for so long. You really think he could not have given up Canadian Passport for so long if he wanted to? Adnan Sami became an Indian citizen with his little contacts. You think Akshay Kumar after feeling so deeply Indian was not connected enough to see his Indian Citizenship through sooner than Adnan Sami?

[@panjabipandit]

First time hearing Akshay Kumar be proud of being a Punjabi Hindu. So many times I find Punjabi's in Bollywood hide their Hindu identity or their Punjabi identity. Most of all they seem to try to showcase a Sikh identity as if Punjabi (an ethnic identity created thousands of years ago and the birthplace of Hinduism & some of the first Hindus) is the same thing as Sikh (a religious identity created 500 years ago). Punjabi's are a majority Muslim and Hindu with a Sikh minority. Good on him for claiming his identity proudly - we should all be proud of what we are and I'm immensely proud to be a Punjabi Hindu.

[@siddharthsharma76]

Just saw the "Raniganj" on Netflix, frankly its an awesome movie. Simple movie depicting how in the moment of great crisis the character stood-up and depicted the leader within. Some unnecessary drama is included showing unneeded rivalry/ corporate politics, which is universal though, every movie here or wordlwide includes this. But all-in-all a must watch and awesome movies.

Two titans at the top of their game. Smita is one of the best interviewers - questions so good that you don't notice the time go by. Akshay proves that he has his head on his shoulders - honest, humble and, possibly, a modern Guru Dutt.

[@gaia_quest2704]

This is exactly why I love watching his movies as opposed to SRKs. He makes movies on issues, events that have a social impact or stories that have been forgotten. I love him for that. I love being his fan and love his OMG, Holiday, PadMan, Gabbar and Kesari. I was boggled about Kesari. Whoa! Forget 300.

He is the pioneer of that.

Dear Sir, God bless you. I'm an ardent supporter of you since 1992 & I sincerely hope that you take these websites and youtubers to court on the basis of defamation and spreading false propaganda. I am truly heartbroken by the treatment these haters are relentlessly giving. You Sir just cannot catch a break from these haters. So I am again requesting you to ponder over this & act rapidly.

Wonderful human being… thank you for this interview 😊🙏

I agree with most of the things he said about managing time and fitness. He can afford to work only 8 hrs after this stage in his career. I am sure he must have worked more in his early days. even though he was a chef in Bangkok, he must have worked more than that. So he should be factually right here.

Oh, it's been a long, long time since I saw someone with hair combed like him. My father was the last man i knew who combed his hair that way. He reminded me of my dad. 😊

October 13, 2023 Smita, thank you for this Podcast, without which I wouldn’t have watched OMG2. There’s a distance of 4 fingers between what we hear and what we see. The important topic has been grappled extremely well. I had see Pad Man and Toilet. Necessities of life depicted very well. Thanks again and special thanks to Akshay Kumar.

[@TenGreats04]

Most disappointing part is Akshay should have released omg 2 atleast in ott with orginal cut. Not the theatrical one. Unfortunately we never get to see what Original movie was.

[@alokkulkarni8019]

Enjoyed the talk 👍 keep bringing guest like Akshay , he is doing his part , we all can learn and follow in our regular life.
