Youth understanding importance of realistic films: Akshay

Darpan News Desk IANS, 16 Jan, 2016 02:23 PM
  • Youth understanding importance of realistic films: Akshay
Bollywood's "Khiladi" Akshay Kumar thinks that the taste of audiences has changed today and especially the youth are understanding the importance of realistic films.
 
"Times are changing. The youth is understanding the value of these kind of cinema - like 'Baby',which was about RAW.. there weren't any songs in it. But it did good business. So automatically the value of realism is increasing and will go on rising," said Akshay in a press conference for his film "Airlift".
 
His leading lady in the film, Nimrat Kaur echoed his views. "I can say this even for 'The Lunchbox', it was such a big standing example - such a small film which didn't contain any of the aspects that you associate with a commercial formula, or relief or escapism. The commercial success and the numbers of the film, is also a standing proof of it," she said.
 
"Airlift" is based on the evacuation of Kuwait-based Indians during the Iraqi occupation in 1990, where Akshay plays the crucial character of Ranjit Katyal who was an unsung hero in aiding the evacuation process.
 
Refuting the assumption that he might be exhausted after back-to-back promotions for the film, Akshay said that the team viewed the film a few days back. "I'm very happy with the way the movie has shaped. We feel proud that we have made this film. I eagerly waiting for people to watch it, feel proud that we are Indians and know what all things our people do to save people's life."
 
"Airlift" is set to release January 22.
