  • My Films Are Commercial, But Different: Akshay Kumar
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who will next be seen in "Gabbar Is Back", says his films have always been commercial and his choices of films has always been different.
 
"My films are commercial. I don't give any speech (on social issues) in my films.
