Akshay said he realised after the first decade in the Hindi film industry that he was stuck in the action star image and needed to break out urgently. And he did that by exploring different genres such as comedy, drama, romance and horror comedy. “Thirty-five years are a long time…. It is a one in a billion or million chance to have 35 years of career. I hope I go further and cross 40. The prayer is that I keep shooting just five minutes before my death. Initially, when I came to the industry, I only wanted to make money,” he told PTI in an interview. The actor added, “But after that decade, when I saw my films, I felt like slapping myself.

3 min readNew DelhiMay 25, 2026 03:18 PM IST Bollywood has officially entered the Bhojpuri film industry. Earlier, Bhojpuri stars like Ravi Kishan and Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua made their way into Bollywood, and now the tables have turned with the makers of Welcome To The Jungle unveiling a full-fledged Bhojpuri-style song, “Ghis Ghis Ghis”, featuring Akshay Kumar and the “undisputed queen of Bhojpuri” Akshara Singh. The makers recently dropped the latest track from the film. Penned by Abhinav Shekhar, the song has been sung by Vikram Montrose and Supriya Pathak in an energetic Bhojpuri style. Akshay Kumar is seen dressed in a sleeveless khadi kurta, dhoti and the signature Bihari gamcha, fully embracing the earthy aesthetic of the track. Intentionally over-the-top and humorous, the song also features Paresh Rawal, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Jacqueline Fernandez and Johnny Lever. The track opens with a comic setup. A voice asks, “You know someone?” to which Paresh Rawal replies, “Yes I do. He was a star once. Became a flop hero. Now he has become an item …

Raja Krishna Menon’s film recently completed 10 years and the director recently revealed that Akshay was not the first choice for the film. In fact, the director initially approached Irrfan Khan. Recalling how it all unfolded, Menon told Bollywood Hungama, “The first actor I approached was Irrfan Khan. It happened through producer Nikkhil Advani. I met Nikkhil as I was told that he was looking for fresh ideas.” He added, laughingly recounting his interaction with Irrfan who said, “Raja, it’s a great script, but your vision is Hollywood. But with me, you’ll not get money to make anything close to your vision.” Menon said he initially thought Irrfan was simply declining the film politely. But then Menon revealed that even producer Nikkhil Advani had a similar concern. “Nikkhil also suggested that I should approach an A-lister. He and Vikram Malhotra (co-producer) met Akshay for …

When Tees Maar Khan released in theatres, it opened to poor reviews but still managed to succeed at the box office, thanks largely to Akshay Kumar’s humour, and Akshaye Khanna’s standout performance as Aatish Kapoor, and the chartbuster “Sheila Ki Jawani”. The film has returned to the headlines after several netizens pointed out that Akshay Kumar had recognised Akshaye Khanna’s exceptional acting talent long before Dhurandhar. Fans referenced their dynamic in Tees Maar Khan, where Akshay’s character—a thief posing as a world-class director—flatters ‘superstar’ Aatish Kapoor (played by Akshaye Khanna) by convincing him he is “Oscar-level” material. Now, with Akshaye Khanna’s resurgence in Hindi cinema through powerful roles such as Aurangzeb in Chhava and Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar, he has once again become a favourite among moviegoers.
