"I Think It Is One Of Akshay Kumar's Best Performances"- Vipul Amrutlal Shah on 10 Years of Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty

10 Years of Holiday

Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, starring Akshay Kumar as the soldier, celebrates 10 years since its release today. Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by A. R. Murugadoss, the film was a box office hit with earnings of over Rs. 100 crore at the Indian box office.

On the 10th anniversary of Holiday, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah expressed his thoughts behind making the film. He said, "Holiday was a very new espionage thriller genre that came on the scene, and it was a smash success. I think the plot, the treatment, and the performances were all so new and brilliant that they had a huge connect with the audiences right away."Praising Akshay Kumar's performance in the film, Shah added, "I think it is one of Akshay Kumar's best performances. What was required for the character was a very cool demeanor and then sudden unpredictable sharpness and intelligence, which Akshay managed to bring out so simply and beautifully. Murugadoss sir's direction, the way he wrote the film, the way he directed the film, was absolutely fantastic, and everybody, Sonakshi, Freddy, and the other actors, performed brilliantly in whatever parts they had, and I think that was the reason the whole concept of sleeper cells coming into Indian cinema was very new, and I think that touched the chord with the audience. So, I think overall it was a complete package, and we were very sure."

"Govinda Sir's cameo was brilliant. So overall, when we saw the film, in the edits, or when we were reading the script, we all knew that we all had something very special on our hands, and I am glad that in 10 years time, the film has achieved a kind of cult status in the minds of the audiences," he concluded.
