Mumbai: Actor-producer Akshay Kumar says that he did not produce the forthcoming Marathi film Chumbak with the intention to earn money at box office.

"The kind of message that this film gives, these are the things what I would like to teach my children."

On being asked about the message given in Chumbak, Akshay said: "I feel parents should take their children to watch this film.

The film Chumbak is slated to release on July 27 in India.
