Akshay’s hit formula is noteworthy & PadMan is it’s another addition

Akshay Kumar hit formula Akshay Kumar’s upcoming films are Gold, Mogul and Kesri, reports The Indian Express.
In a recent interview, Akshay Kumar quipped now that he has financially secured his family and his bank account has more money than the target he set when he started off, he is more keen on doing films with substance, which satisfy him as an actor. Keeping this in mind, let’s take a look back at his work in the past two years. Airlift, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha… Yes, he is the same Khiladi Kumar who was once the champion of Houseful franchise and even did films like Desi Boyz, Tees Maar Khan and Action Replayy. For the Akshay Kumar of today, playing a common man and picking stories from real life for the big screen has surely become his success mantra. And his upcoming PadMan will only strengthen his changing preferences.
The 50-year-old actor is the same name who had over the years established himself as a master of comedy, a champion of action and a romantic hero too. But just like his wife Twinkle Khanna, even his fans wanted to see him mature as an artiste. And well, he did that. He went on to make smart moves in terms of scripts’ selection, rarely missing the bull’s eye. Akshay Kumar in Jolly LLB 2 and Toilet Ek Prem Katha Akshay Kumar’s 2017 films – Jolly LLB 2 and Toilet Ek Prem Katha were both highly successful.
Indian cinema as a whole is undergoing a change. While big budget films with superstars are bombing (Tubelight and Jab Harry Met Sejal), small scale movies are emerging as sleeper hits (Bareilly Ki Barfi, Hindi Medium and Death In The Gunj). Time is ripe for filmmakers to experiment and actors can give in their best shot at performances too. And Akshay is making the most of the latest trend. He shed his macho image, wore slippers and pyjamas and got into the skin of a man we can find at any nook or corner of our street. This man had simple dreams and common problems. He spoke our language and returned with a broken bone if attacked by goons on the road. That’s how Akshay revamped his image, which was once about being a one-man-army onscreen.
As they say, the simplest of things connect better. Akshay kept churning out at least 2-3 mediocre budget films per year, which addressed social issues. These went on and struck gold at the box office. All his recent films have entered the 100-crore club too – Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (Rs 216.58 cr), Jolly LLB 2 (Rs 197.33 cr), Rowdy Rathore (Rs 133. 35 cr), Rustom (Rs 128 crore), Airlift (Rs 127. 80 cr), Holiday (Rs 112.5 cr), Housefull 3 (Rs 109. 13 cr) and Housefull 2 (Rs 106 cr). PadMan might become his ninth film to get into the coveted club, and we won’t be surprised!
