The actor said that he was considering moving to Canada after his films were not working. Akshay also shared that he holds a Canadian passport but pays all his taxes in India.

The Rakshabandhan Star Quoted , “A few years ago, my films were not working. Almost 14-15 films had not worked so I thought I should probably move elsewhere and work there.” He further added , “I have a passport. What is a passport? It is a document used to travel from one country to another. See I am an Indian, I pay all my taxes and pay them here. I have a choice to pay it there as well but I pay them in my country. I work in my country. A lot of people say things and they are allowed to. To them, I would just like to say that I am an Indian, and I will always be an Indian”
