“To say at the moment impact, yes it obviously, it is going to impact. Every movie is going to impact each other. Everything, the businesses are going to go down by 30 to 40 percent. It is a very unfortunate thing but you have to deal with it," he was quoted saying.
The actor added that one has to understand the fact that when the theatres open with 50 percent occupancy, it will have an impact on the film but still makers are releasing their movies. Akshay further explained, “Still, my industry survived and we went ahead with it. So yes, to come back to the normalcy, it will take another year or more than a year probably".
‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is directed by Farhad Samji and will see Akshay playing the role of a deadly yet filmy gangster, who aspires to be an actor. The movie will hit the theaters on 18th March 2022.
