Many celebrities have acquired theatres and actor Ajay Devgn is one of them. On questioned if Akshay interested in acquiring such properties, he revealed, "I would like to only make cinema. I won't be able to do acquire theatres because there will be too much work for me."

The 50-year-old actor was also asked about the issue of Marathi films like Deva not being able to get screens for its release to which he replied, "The content that Marathi films are providing is much better than Hindi cinema. I have watched them and made remakes. I have also made Marathi cinema. So, I think whatever small problem is there, has been solved."
