Video: Akshay Kumar reacts to his films tanking at box office, says 'I take risks'

Akshay Kumar exclusively spoke to India Today about 'Mission Raniganj' underperforming at the box office. The film released on October 6. When asked if he ever thinks of taking a step back when his films don't work at the box office, he said, "I do take risks. Making these kind of films (Mission Ranganj) is a risk. I don't want to take a safe route. The happiness that I get when I make a 'Padman' or an 'Airlift', it gives me satisfaction. I can easily make a 'Rowdy Rathore' or 'Singh is Kinng' and earn triple the amount of money. But I'm very happy making these kind of films. But I also wouldn't say I will not make these films. I will balance myself."
