Akshay Kumar has been ruling Bollywood for over two decades now. The prolific actor has carved a niche for himself in various genres of films be it comedy, drama, action, romance and socially impactful films.
Of late, the actor's films have been failing miserably at the box office. The actor who was the king of BO and when his films used to soar over Rs 500 crores, in the last few years once can see Akshay Kumar's films struggling to mint even as basic as Rs 50 crores.
