However, that was not always a reality for Akshay Kumar who has faced some really tough times in the past. Recently, in an interview with a news portal, he opened up about how he once considered moving out of India as his films weren’t working. He also revealed that to be a reason why he got Canadian citizenship.

He said, “A few years ago, my films were not working. Almost 14-15 films had not worked so I thought I should probably move elsewhere and work there. A lot of people move there (Canada) for work, but they are still Indians. So I also thought that if destiny is not supporting me here then I should do something about it. I went there, applied for it (the citizenship), and got it.”

Akshay Kumar also revealed that it was one of his friends who lived in Canada and suggested he shift there.

Well, Akshay Kumar ultimately found success in Bollywood and decided to stay back.
