Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has asserted he is 'very happy making films' and will not join politics. Akshay was speaking at the book launch of Hindujas and Bollywood, held in London on Sunday night, when he was asked a question about entering politics.

In response, Akshay was quoted as saying by PTI: "I am very happy making films... As an actor, I do whatever possible to take up social issues. I have produced 150 films, the one nearest to my heart is Raksha Bandhan.

"I produce commercial films, sometimes with social issues. I produce three-four films a year," he added.

In 2019, Akshay had posted a tweet saying he's getting into "unknown and uncharted territory", sparking speculations about his political foray. That, however, turned out be an hour-long 'apolitical' interview he conducted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Akshay's last release was Samrat Prithviraj. Besides Raksha Bandhan, he will be seen in Ram Sethu, Selfee and OMG 2.
