The actor we are talking about is Akshay Kumar. In 2022, Akshay starred in a film called Samrat Prithviraj. He played a titular role in it. When the trailer was released, the audience was not pleased with the age gap between him and his co-star Manushi Chhillar. Later, there was criticism of his look as Prithviraj.

The filmmaker revealed that Akshay was heartbroken by the heavy criticism. Dwivedi stated that the actor had tears in his eyes. As we mentioned above, the movie was made on a budget of Rs 300 crores, but it overall earned only Rs 90 crore.
