- Akshay Kumar’s last film, Sooryavanshi, released in 2021 and had cameos by Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn.
- Akshay Kumar has said that when his back-to-back films do not work, it is time to sit back.
- Akshay Kumar that worked well at the box office was the fourth film in Rohit Shetty.
When his consecutive films don’t succeed, according to Akshay Kumar, it’s time to take a step back, think about it, and make changes to who he is. He added that this is not a new phase for him and accepted blame for his films’ box office failure.
The fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s “police universe,” Sooryavanshi, was the last Akshay Kumar movie to do well at the box office. He appeared opposite Katrina Kaif in its 2021 release. Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn both made cameo appearances in the movie.
Akshay said to Aaj Tak that he had given three to four flops in a succession “This is not the first time that this has happened to me. I’ve experienced 16 straight failures at a period in my profession. There was a moment when eight of my pictures in a row were failures. I’ve now had three or four films in a row that weren’t successful. The problem is that it occurs as a result of your own negligence, film ka na chalna (a film not working). You must disassemble yourself in order to adapt to the changing audience. The public wants to see something different, so you must start over.”
Akshay continued, “Aapki film nahi chal rahi to galti aapki hai is a serious alarm (If your films are not working, it is your fault). When several of your movies are box office duds, it should serve as a warning that something needs to change. I’m trying to change, that’s all I can do, so to speak. Mai koshish kar raha hun.” He added that he would like to convey to everyone that viewers should not be held responsible for unsuccessful movies. “Don’t point the finger at the crowd or anyone else. It is entirely my fault. The lack of interest in Aapki Film is not due to the viewers. It is as a result of your decision. Perhaps you didn’t use the proper ingredients.
The first big movie to hit theaters after the box office slump brought on by the pandemic-related lockdown and limitations was Akshay Kumar’s BellBottom. The first Hindi box office success following the pandemic was his collaboration with Rohit Shetty, Sooryavanshi. Yet, since 2022, none of his theatrical releases have achieved astronomical box office success. Samrat Prithviraj and Raksha Bandhan from the previous year were failures at the box office. His most recent effort, Selfiee, came out on February 24 and had a poor first-day gross of under 3 crore.
