Akshay Kumar Becomes The Only Bollywood Actor in 2019 to Enter to the Rs 700-Crore Club!
The Khiladi Kumar is right now ruling the box office window. 2019 clearly was a 'happy year' for the star as his four films that year surpassed the Rs 100 crore club.
Akshay Kumar is currently one of those stars who has the biggest fan following in the country. The Khiladi Kumar is right now ruling the box office window. 2019 clearly was a 'happy year' for the star as his four films that year surpassed the Rs 100 crore club. In fact, it now turns out that he is the only Bollywood actor who has earned Rs 700 crore club in just a year.
If we go by the figures by Bollywood Hungama, the actor has become the star of the box office windows earning over Rs 700 crore in just a year. It is important to note that there were hardly any biggies to give it a tough competition at the box office barring a few here and there.
Also, surprisingly, these movies are all from different genres and not just themed on patriotism. Kesari was a period drama that earned approx Rs 194.60 crore. On the other hand, Mission Mangal was a social drama that raked in approx Rs 202.98 crore at the ticket windows. Then came two comedies viz. Housefull 4 and Good Newwz.
The critically-bashed but loved-by-mass comedy film, Housefull 4 earned Rs 194.60. On the other hand, the multi-starrer Good Newwz which received a moderate response from the critics as well as the fans has garnered Rs 162.10 crore in just ten days and is still running in the theatres. Well, that easily takes the figure to over 700 crore, making him the only Bollywood star to get that kind of response at the box office. He has a string of films lined up next like Sooryavanshi, Prithviraj Chauhan, Bachchan Pandey, Laxmmi Bomb, Hera Pheri 3 to name a few.
