Akshay Kumar has said that superstars no longer rule the box office.

The 46-year-old star told PTI that the script is the main factor in determining the success of a film today.

"It is not that if a name of a big star is attached to a movie it will automatically become [a] hit. Only good films do well. If the script, the content is good then a film works," explained Kumar.

"Big actors' [movies] don't work at [the] box office sometimes. Gone are the days when films of superstars did well or ruled the box office all the time.

"It's all about [the] script, and whoever is part of the film and does a good job. At the end of the day it's the script that matters... No artist is small today. I don't consider anyone small," he added.

The Boss star recently said it was "an honour" to have legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan provide the voiceover which introduces his character in the film.

Kumar is reportedly the first Indian actor to cross lifetime net collections of 2,000 crore ahead of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
