Year Ender 2024: Akshay Kumar had a film in the year 2023 which was a hit, but neither was this film his nor was his character in the lead. The name of the film was ‘OMG 2’. Before that, neither Akshay’s film was a hit in 2022 nor in this year 2024.
Akshay Kumar’s last hit film after Corona came as soon as the theater opened. The film ‘Suryavanshi’ of the year 2021 was his last hit film.
This year too, Akshay Kumar did three big films like Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, Sarfira and Khel Khel Mein and three proved to be disasters. Overall, Akshay Kumar could not prove beneficial for the film makers. But this year, one of his strategies worked which can make him a guaranteed hit machine actor again in the coming years.
These were Akshay Kumar’s superhit decisions amidst megaflops.
If Akshay Kumar’s fans, who are trying to recover from megaflops, are sad about when their favorite actor will give a big hit, then there is great news for them. In fact, on one hand, three of Akshay Kumar’s films made with a budget of Rs 350 crore to Rs 100 crore were flopping, while on the other hand, he maintained his stardom through two films.
In these films, Akshay Kumar was neither in the lead nor in the side role. But his two small cameos kept him a favorite among the audience. He did these cameos in Stree 2 and the recent Singham Again.
What benefit is Akshay Kumar going to get from Stree 2?
According to Pinkvilla, despite having actors like Rajkumar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee in the film made with a budget of around Rs 135 crore, a small cameo of Akshay Kumar was remembered the most by the people. The film earned around Rs 884 crore worldwide and proved to be a blockbuster.
- Akshay Kumar’s magnetic presence in a film that made such huge money in such a low budget reached maximum audiences. The makers have also given a hint that they are going to cast Akshay Kumar as the main villain in the next part of the film.
- Akshay Kumar has played brilliant negative characters in films like Aankhen, Ajnabee and 2.0. Akshay also received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in Negative Role for Ajnabee.
- In such a situation, the audience is already ready to see Akshay Kumar’s comedy as well as his gray shade in a horror comedy universe like Stree. Obviously, his decision to be a part of this universe can prove to be a superhit because almost all the films of this horror comedy universe have been liked very much.
Suryavanshi in Singham Again
The recently released Spy Universe film Singham Again has also garnered a lot of attention at the box office. Her presence as Suryavanshi in the film proves that work on Suryavanshi 2 may also start very soon. His last hit was also Suryavanshi. In such a situation, the audience is also waiting for this film.
Will pave the way for superhit with a strong entry in two universes.
Rohit Shetty’s cop universe and horror comedy universe are two big universes of Bollywood. In such a situation, by becoming a part of two such universes, Akshay Kumar has done the job of finding superhit films for himself this year. It would not be wrong to say that his strategy of how to maintain stardom even amidst flops worked.
Akshay Kumar’s upcoming projects
Akshay Kumar is also going to release Bhoot Bangla, Welcome to the Jungle, Skyforce and Jolly LLB 3 in the coming year. Apart from Skyforce, every film belongs to the same genre for which it is liked.
He will also be seen in the sequels of two big hit franchises and also in Priyadarshan comedies like Bhoot Bangla. He will also be seen in a serious role in Skyforce. It is clear that this year may have brought flops for them, but next year is going to bring huge success for them again.
