Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is still rocking the box office. Quite apart from collecting more than Rs 125 crore, lead actor Akshay Kumar has garnered support from global celebrities and philanthropists like Hollywood actors Salma Hayek and Matt Damon.
Akshay Kumar obviously is thrilled, and he shared his excitement in an interview with Hindustan Times.
Akshay Kumar though has also received his fair share of criticism for making what many believe is an ‘agenda-driven film’, to appease BJP propagandists. But the actor asserts everything isn’t about politics.
Well, whatever may be the case, Akshay is delighted that Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has helped push the boundaries for a cleaner, safer nation for the rural female population. The film has reportedly encouraged many women to demand toilets in their own homes.
