Congrats on your National Award win. Is this a blessing from heaven?
I’m exceptionally cheerful. I think of it as the favors of my folks and the great wishes of my family. Mrs Funnybones (spouse Twinkle Khanna) who constantly prodded me on not getting any honors is glad and my satisfaction lies in making her cheerful.
Shouldn’t something be said about the contention? There is a segment that trusts movie producer Priyadarshan who headed the National Awards jury favored you?

I have finished 25 years in the film business and I’ve never asked for help to pack a motion picture or a honor. With respect to Priyan favoring me, I think he has addressed that question in your daily paper. (In a meeting dated April 8, Priyadarshan told Mirror, “Akshay Kumar merited the honor and we offered it to him. There were an aggregate of 38 jury individuals with me on this. How might you scrutinize the choice of such a large number of individuals? Ramesh Sippy headed the jury a year ago. When he gave Best Actor to Amitabh Bachchan for Piku why didn’t anybody doubt him?”)
You’ve set up a film industry conflict by pushing the arrival of Toilet – Ek Prem Katha to concur with Shah Rukh Khan’s next film, Raula, this August.
My film is going ahead August 11 since it’s a major date and a fortunate time. In addition, Independence Day, there is another occasion around the same time. Such long ends of the week can without much of a stretch take two major discharges. Ghayal and Dil conflicted, as did Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Lagaan.
Be that as it may, conflicts have a tendency to get appalling…

Film industry conflicts are proficient dangers and in a perfect world they ought not have any individual ramifications. In a circumstance where we have 200 films to be obliged in 52 weeks, conflicts have turned out to be unavoidable.
Unquestionably, we don’t live in a perfect world…
I’m mindful of that. In any case, I’m not willing to attract blood or go to war over a film.
Be that as it may, a conflict likewise eats into the movies pie?
(Laughs)At slightest the two of us are as yet guaranteed of eating pie.

SRK and you nearly conflicted in August four years prior.
Yes, Chennai Express went ahead August 8 took after by Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara! after seven days. The conflict was turned away by the makers, Ekta Kapoor and SRK.
There is a growing inclination among geniuses to possess Republic Day, Independence Day, Eid, Diwali and Christmas ends of the week.
I discharged Airlift on Republic Day a year ago and Rustom on Independence Day. Both movies were effective yet regardless I don’t think I claim these dates. As I said before, these are great ends of the week to trade out, however they assuredly don’t have a place with me or some other performing artist.
You’ve all of a sudden turned into the go-to on-screen character for activities with a cause. Can – Ek Prem Katha talks against open crap, trailed by Padman which advocates the utilization of clean napkins.

I’m a performing artist, a performer; I’m absolutely not here to lecture. That is the reason I offset my decisions. On one hand I do a droll satire like Housefull and a social drama on the other. In the event that my movies can engage and furthermore convey a message unpretentiously, why not?
Latrine – Ek Prem Katha is a parody, however it is likewise a performer. It is such a pity, to the point that 54 for each penny of India still goes to the fields to calm itself. This practice imperils them as well as people around them. In the event that ladies in provincial India had a can in their homes, we’d have 30 percent less assaults in the nation. We truly need to change the insights in the event that we are to end up plainly a protected, dynamic nation.
Is it true that it isn’t dubious attempting to offer sterile towels?
Padman depends on the life of social business visionary Arunachalam Muruganatham whose endeavors towards making a minimal effort clean towel machine was perceived by the legislature. My better half sourced the story in her book, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad. I am glad to play him and proliferate such a delicate message. I don’t know whether India is prepared for the message yet I assuredly am prepared to bestow it. I’m a male women’s activist. As I would see it ladies ought to be supported not tormented, regarded not debilitated, took care of and not manhandled.
You’re supporting such a large number of causes. Do you harbor political yearnings?

I am not hoping to get into governmental issues and am not adjusted to any political gathering. I am quite recently upbeat that the present government is doing a ton to battle open poo. I’m adjusted to the decision gathering’s perspective on this. Past this, I have no enthusiasm for legislative issues.
