Akshay on unsteady grounds

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,April 09 2009]

Call it bad luck or evil eye or both, the macho man of Bollywood Akshay is suffering from these. With his latest flick bombing at the BO Akshay has given three flops back to back. Then came his ramp walk at the Lakme Fashion Week where he took to the ramp for Tarun Tilani and attempted a daring stunt which was considered obscene and a case has been filed against the actor.

‘8X10 Tasveer’ opened to big expectations from Akshay fans but proved a failure at the box office due to bad scripting. This seemed to be a film where Akshay was portrayed in a serious role after quite a long time. First ‘Jambo’, then ‘Chandni Chowk to China’ and now ‘8x10 Tasveer’ bombing at the box office has left Akshay behind in the race for the top spot for heroes in Bollywood.

If it was King Khan sometime back now it is Aamir creating a storm at the box office with his super-duper show in ‘Ghajini’ and it was Akshay catching up with him. But now due to the bad show of his films he has dropped down a couple of slots in the ranking.

But to all Akshay fans out there, do not lose heart because Akki has four films lined up for release one after the other, and expectations are running high for all these films. The ones in queue are ‘Kambaqth Ishq’ where he stars opposite Kareena Kapoor, ‘Blue’ with Katrina Kaif and a host of stars. This film has been in the news many times for the dare-devil stunts under water. Next on the line is ‘Houseful’ where Akki will once again be pairing with Deepika padukone and ‘De Dhana Dhan’ a Priyadarshan will be an all round comedy film.

We hope Akshay’s bad luck runs out paving way for good in all his upcoming films!
