Akshay Kumar rubbishes the theories about his superstition on not attending the premiers or preview shows of his movies, by being in town for the promotion of his recently released movie Kambakkht Ishq. The superstar clarifies his absence as a mere coincidence.
Some reports suggest Akshay Kumar avoids being in town around the release of his movies as he believes, they perform better at the box office if he is away.
