There is one Bollywood actor who is counted among top five superstars of Indian cinema. He has been a leading actor in the Hindi film industry for over 30 years. The superstar was at the peak of his career until 2019, when he delivered 12 hits in a row. After the pandemic, his career went downhill. We are talking about Akshay Kumar. Since his first post-pandemic release, Bell Bottom in 2021 to his latest film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in 2024, Akshay has acted in 13 films, out of which three (Laxmii, Atrangi Re and Cuttputlli) were released as OTT films, while the remaining 10 films were released theatrically. Out of his 10 films, only two became box office hits and eight became major failures.

1. Bell Bottom (2021) – Disaster

2. Sooryavanshi (2021) – Hit

3. Bachchhan Paandey (2022) – Disaster

4. Samrat Prithviraj (2022) – Disaster

8. OMG 2 (2023) – Superhit

10. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) – Disaster

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was Akshay’s biggest film in terms of budget, which is reportedly Rs 350 crore. The film, starring Tiger Shroff in the lead role, is expected to collect Rs 75 crore in India and over Rs 100 crore worldwide.

After Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Akshay has eight new films in the pipeline, ranging from biopics, action films, comedy entertainers, airborne action thrillers, period epics and a comedy-drama.

During the trailer launch of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Akshay Kumar looked back at some of his recent films and their box office collections. He said, “We keep trying every kind of film. I don’t stick to any particular genre. I keep jumping from one genre to another, whether I succeed or not, that’s how I have always worked. I will keep doing… something that is social, something that is good, something in comedy, in action.”
