Akshay Kumar, one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, has experienced a downturn in his career in recent years. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, he enjoyed a golden run from 2016 to 2019, delivering back-to-back theatrical successes at the box office. During this period, he gave three consecutive 200 crore net grossers with “Mission Mangal,” “Housefull 4,” and “Good Newwz” in 2019, which could be considered his peak period at the Indian box office. However, in the post-pandemic era, things have not been going in Akshay Kumar’s favor. Many of his big-budget films have failed at the Indian box office. Films like “Bachchhan Paandey,” “Samrat Prithviraj,” “Ram Setu,” and “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” tanked during their theatrical run
. Out of Akshay Kumar’s last 10 theatrical releases, only two films have worked well, while eight films have been failures. “OMG 2” turned out to be a winner, earning 150 crores at the Indian box office, and “Sooryavanshi” also attained a plus verdict with domestic earnings of 195.04 crores.
