Paresh Rawal supports co-star Akshay Kumar for his work ethic: Honestly, what is your problem…?

While speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Paresh Rawal said, “I know I can’t do what he does. Be it the action or being a really good-looking guy. He is not just extremely hardworking but very honest, too. There is no hidden agenda when he converses with you. The integrity is top-notch, and he is a proper family man. It feels nice to talk to him, and be around him. Honestly, what is your problem if he does so many films? People go to him to make the films, right? As a producer, I would sign an actor only if I can account for the money I am investing."
