After living through possibly the worst year of his career as an actor in 2022, where all his movies flunked at the box-office ,Akshay Kumar is all set for another 6 of his movies that are slated to release in 2023. Marked by many as the one who tends to choose “quantity” over “quality”, the actor himself is visibly unfazed with the ebbs and flows that accompanies stardom. His critics are however of the opinion that the actor should have taken a cue from how his 4 movies in 2022 fared on the box-office, but the actor himself chooses to think otherwise as 6 is the actual number of Akshay Kumar’s Upcoming Movies which are supposed to hit the silver screen 2023.
“Flop Show” by Akshay Kumar in 2022
Akshay Kumar had 4 movies that hit the theatres this year; Bachchhan Pandey, Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Ram Setu apart from 1 OTT release, “Cuttputlli”, all of which bombed at the box office as well as in the OTT platform. However, results were hardly a deterrent for him as he is well on course to 6 releases coming up in 2023. Some say that the 55-year-old actor is nearing the end of an enviable career as hero or the lead protagonist and hence doesn’t want to miss out any chances on offer, at least as long as they are on offer.
