Akshay Kumar is a superstar of Bollywood and he has worked with many big film makers in his career so far. He did seven films with Sunil Darshan, including animals, a relationship, style, search and friendship: Friends Forever. The pair gave many hits together, but their last project was in 2005, after which actor-filmmaker never worked together. At the same time, during the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Andaz 2’, Darshan spoke openly about Akshay Kumar and also told about Akshay’s insult after continuous flop films.

In one round, Akshay Kumar’s films were stopped.
In an interview to Bollywood bubble, Sunil Darshan recalled the time when he signed Akshay for the animal, and said that Akshay was going through his worst phase at that time. His 13-14 films were flopping continuously, the director said, “He had stopped getting films. Good films were not coming to him too, and bad films were also getting reduced.”

Animal became a milestone for Akshay Kumar’s career
He further said, “When you are already failing, people drop you even more.” Interestingly, the animal was written for the original Sunny Deol, but he left it. After this, Darshan thought of casting Ajay Devgan in the film, but then Akshay contacted him. Darshan said about this, “He was a beautiful, humble Punjabi boy. He had a discipline, a appearance, but a big problem that he was not worth selling.” He further said, “Making a big budget film with someone, which did not trust the film world, was a huge risk,” however, the risk worked and the animal proved to be a milestone for Akshay’s career.

Akshay Kumar was called garbage as big film makers
But before this success, Akshay Kumar had to face a very bad phase. Regarding this, Sunil Darshan said, “There are also rounds when people used to do insolent. Even when artists fall on the streets, it can be very painful. People who ever praised you, they start laughing at you.” He further said, “I am not saying that Akshay was sitting with high nose, but fame does the same with many people.”

Darshan also spoke openly about Akshay’s difficult relations with the industry in those years. Darshan revealed, “He once told me, ‘I will not take his name, but some big filmmakers used to make fun of me. They used to call me’ garbage ‘behind the back.”

Then Akshay Kumar worked on his terms
The filmmaker says that when most of the people were not with Akshay, they supported him and finally saw him emerging again. He said, “I am very happy when Akshay worked with all the same people … but on his own terms. It also felt like my victory.” Darshan recalled the bond which he shared between himself and Akshay. He said, “For seven years, this was his second home. When he was not shot, he used to work from my office. Such an association would not have happened frequently.” “Dosti, the last film with us, shows the same bond.”
