The whole bollywood, perhaps, revolves around the Khan brothers Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and of course Saif Ali Khan. Amongst these unbreakable pillars, if there is one hero who is the most bankable and most sought after is Akshay Kumar a.k.a Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia.
Cinemagoers love him for his persistent effort to establish himself in the Hindi film industry. If all of them cannot love him, they can’t even ignore him. Such is the footings of this actor in the psyche of movie crazy Indian sub-continent.
He is the perfect hero of the bollywood. His physique is very much macho, his style fabulous and trendy but very much Indianised. He has got all those elements for which people watch Hollywood movies. If he does Matrix like actions, people love it. Furthermore, people go gaga over his comical performances as well. He carries all those elements and traits that we all love to see.
He is the perfect hero, well without any style of his own. His style changes with every movie he does. You give him any action packed movie, true to his salt he will do justice to the role.
After all, during the 90s, Akshay Kumar was known as the highly-energetic and action-packed hero of Bollywood. Films such as Khiladi released in 1992; Mohra released in 1994 and Sabse Bada Khiladi released in 1995, helped him to establish this tag. Who can forget his first hit movie “Khiladi” in the box office?
Now, reports have come that Akshay Kumar has signed a film for Rs 41 crore, which will be directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Venus, has brought him into the big league of highly sought after heroes in the Bollywood. Why not? After all, the success rate of his films has been phenomenal this year.
A quick cursory glance of his movies released this year shows that none of them was a flop. Namastey London was liked by masses and critics alike and was a hit at home and abroad, next comes the Sajid Khan’s Heyy Babyy, which proved to be a superhit at the box-office. Coming to his recent release Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the movie has done remarkably well in India and in the UK market as well.
He is really a hero, a hero who has been striving hard in the Bollywood for two decades for entertaining us non-stop. He is a Khiladi, a true Khiladi.
