Akshay Kumar Says ‘Flop Actor’ Label Is Part of the Character, Not a Personal Dig

Akshay Kumar plays an actor in Welcome to the Jungle who has been experiencing some problems in his acting career and now seeks to stage a comeback after failing many times. He was recently at the trailer launch of the movie in Mumbai and elaborated on why he was referred to as "flop actor" in the film.

When questioned as to why the movie referred to him in that light, Akshay Kumar answered that it should be viewed within the context of the story and not taken personally by himself.

Such terms normally belong to the character or the plot and should be considered as such rather than a statement about him personally.
