Mission Mangal, starring Vidya Balan, Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharman Joshi, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen and others, has done exceptionally well at the box office. The movie has so far raked in Rs 97.56 crore at the box office. Touted to be Akshay Kumar's biggest opener, Vidya Balan in an interview with DNA shares how one has to be practical about it.
When asked her thoughts on the film being called Akshay Kumar's biggest opener, the actress told the publication, "That's because they still talk about the business of films in terms of the male actors. When people said the poster has Akshay's face so prominently — it's not fair because it's about the women — I said, 'I'm happy to use his stardom to my advantage'. You have to be practical about these things."
