Despite criticism in the past, Akshay has consistently supported various causes, including those related to the Indian Army. He had faced online backlash due to his Canadian citizenship, but now he is officially an Indian citizen on paper as well. 

On the professional front, Akshay is enjoying the success of his recent film "OMG 2" and has an exciting lineup of projects, including "The Great Indian Rescue" which is a biopic of Jaswant Singh Gill and several other highly anticipated movies which include Ali Abbas Zafar-directed Bade Miyan Chote Miyan with Tiger Shroff Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 4.

He also has KC Shankaran, Sudha Kongara’s next and his cult capers – Welcome 3 and Hera Pheri 3– in his kitty.
