In a recent interview with News18, Akshay expressed his happiness at being part of the project, emphasizing that his focus is on the story and the overall impact of the film rather than his screen time.

He emphasized that he carefully chooses from a handful of scripts that resonate with him while other projects are offered to fellow actors.
With his candid approach, Akshay Kumar continues to demonstrate a commitment to meaningful storytelling and team collaboration, showing that even in a franchise with multiple big stars, his priority remains the quality of the film rather than individual prominence.
