Ektaa Kapoor is currently celebrating the success of Bhooth Bangla, which has emerged as a strong box office performer, crossing the ₹200 crore mark. The horror-comedy, headlined by Akshay Kumar, continues to draw audiences to theatres.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Ektaa expressed her gratitude towards Akshay for placing his trust in her and lauded his unwavering commitment to his craft.

Ektaa Kapoor shared a candid moment featuring Akshay Kumar and her father, Jeetendra, and accompanied it with a heartfelt note reflecting on discipline and trust in the industry. She wrote, “The time has come for me to say my thank yous… This picture of Dad and Akshay Sir reminds me exactly of what discipline can do. They are so similar that every time I talk to Akshay Sir, I feel like I’m talking to my Dad…Their discipline & their belief in the producer’s conviction, along with deep trust and respect is just wonderful!”
She added, “These two men are the reason the commerce of our industry is alive and why producers continue to have some agency. Doing a few films with top directors once in a while only sustains one layer of the industry… For an industry to thrive, you need actors who work regularly so that every producer gets a chance. The pure commerce these two men have brought is rarely appreciated. So, every time someone asks, ‘Why does Akshay Kumar do four films a year?’ know it’s because of the Dharmendras, the Jeetendras, and the Akshays that this industry flourished.”
