Both &#39;Rowdy Rathore&#39; and &#39;Housefull 2&#39; grossed well but Akshay said the monkey is not off his back as one needs to live up to people&#39;s expectations everyday in this industry. <img alt="Akshay Kumar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/aug/Akshay-Kumar_18.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 366px; " /> &quot;Forget the monkey, I feel like I have been carrying King Kong on my back ever since the release of that first film (Ghajini) which smashed the 100 crore mark a few years back. Aamir has set some high standards. &quot;In this industry it&#39;s never about what you have accomplished in the past. If your not breaking records or setting trends today, you are in trouble,&quot; Akshay told PTI. After &quot;Ghajini&quot; (2008), Aamir&#39;s &quot;3 Idiots&quot; also broke records at the box office. Akshay, 44, said that he was aware of the numbers being accumulated by his peers. &quot;One has to stay in the game for it&#39;s a hard monkey chain to climb if you don&#39;t. Moreover, there is no such thing as free bananas in this line of business. I know that without a blink of an eye, my happiness can be taken away from me at any moment. This is how nature works,&quot; he said. Talking about his latest release &lsquo;Joker&rsquo;, which hit theatres on Friday, Akshay described the film as a &lsquo;world of mysteries and lies&rsquo;. &quot;It&#39;s an intelligent script which is created to make the audience step out of the norm and lose themselves in the world of mysteries and lies. However, that&#39;s only if their minds can allow them to do so. It&#39;s a humble rural sci-fi full of madness, jokes, love and adventure,&quot; said Akshay. This is also Akshay&#39;s first film which has a heavy dose of VFX and a genre like this is comparatively new to the Indian screen. &quot;It&#39;s something fun and exciting for the families to enjoy. Sometimes that&#39;s more important than going for an obvious wannabe blockbuster,&quot; the actor said. u00a0

Even though two of his recent films have crossed the 100-crore mark, Akshay Kumar says he isn't at peace yet, as the pressure has been built ever since Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' first set the box office milestone
