Akshay Kumar might well be the new king of Bollywood. Here is why
We have seen the dominance of a Shahenshah (Amitabh Bachchan), a King Khan (Shah Rukh Khan), a Sultan (salman Khan) and a Perfectionist (Aamir Khan). We have witnessed the fluctuating sparkle of a Roshan (Hrithik), a talented Kapoor (Ranbir) to a more recent phenomenal (Ranveer) Singh. But one man who has silently gone about his work sans any airs, industriously, since the 90s and managed to remain in the reckoning throughout despite many downs is a certain Khiladi Kumar. And perhaps the time has come now for the moniker Khiladi to make way for the crown. Yes, Kumar is King and King is Kumar. Akshay Kumar has done enough to stake his claim as the new King of Bollywood. Let’s find out why.
Who is a king: A man who doesn’t need festivals to deliver a Rs 100-crore hit.
With Rustom, Akshay Kumar has succeeded in breaking his own box office records including Airlift which was released earlier this year.
All festivals have been booked by the Khans. But guess Akshay doesn’t need that luxury at all. The actor releases his films when the time is right regardless of whether it is a holiday or not and it does rake in equal moolah. Unlike the Khans, Akshay’s films look at overall collections rather than the boosted up first day sale. Lately, the actor has managed to capture Independence Day and Republic Day for himself, but that’s not exactly a festive holiday weekend.
Who is a king: A man who receives unequivocal support in case of a clash with a competitor.
Salman Khan took to Twitter to share a video urging his fans to watch Akshay Kumar’s Rustom.
Mohenjo Daro clashed with Rustom and the rest is history. Also part of this history is how big names from the industry supported Akshay by tweeting videos about his film, almost ignoring Hrithik in the process.
Who is a king: A man who works regularly with new talent and delivers hits.

Akshay has worked with a plethora of new girls in the recent past from Madhurima Tuli to Nimrat Kaur to Kajal Agarwal. And every single time he has hit the bull’s eye with his new pairing.
Who is a king: A man who is truly versatile.
Akshay Kumar has tried his hand at every genre possible.
From hardcore action, romance, comedy, thriller, drama to even horror, Akshay, the actor has tried his hand at every genre possible.
