Akshay Kumar was also quoted saying that he does not fret over his lack of 300-crore films. He is rather proud that him doing so many films means employment for so many people. The actor confessed in the interview that he does not mind being called greedy. However, he did joke that he expects all the respect he has earned for the movie Mission Mangal to go down the drain now that Housefull 4 has released. When asked to clarify, he said that he feels when one of his movies get released, his previous projects are forgotten in an instant. No matter what kind of movie he does, Akshay Kumar feels that he is always stereotyped and trolled because of the last movie's genre. But Akshay reportedly has no problem in switching roles. One moment he could be working on a serious movie and the next moment he might be working on Housefull 4. The actor believes that the diversity of his roles does not affect his performance.
