There are many actors in Bollywood who have given many blockbuster films. But do you know about the only Indian actor who has given not one or two but 20 such films, which have joined the Rs 100 crore club.
Akshay Kumar Bhooth Bangla Enters 100 Crore Club: Nearly two decades ago, Aamir Khan’s film ‘Ghajini’ created history by earning a net worth of Rs 100 crore at the Indian box office. It was the first Indian film to cross this figure. Since then, about 150 Indian films have joined the Rs 100 crore club. While there are many big budget films, many small films have also made it to this list. Many actors have more than one film included in this club, which shows their continuous success. If you are thinking that Salman, Shahrukh, Aamir Khan or Ajay Devgan will be in this list, then you are wrong.
Who is the only actor to give maximum 100 crore films?
The Bollywood actor who has given the maximum number of Rs 100 crore films is none other than Akshay Kumar. Akshay’s recent film ‘Bhoot Bangla’, popularly known as Khiladi, has now joined the Rs 100 crore club. With this the actor has made this record in his name. Now 20 films of Akshay have taken entry in this club.
Akshay broke Salman Khan’s record
With Akshay Kumar’s Bhoot Bangla reaching the Rs 100 crore club, he has also left behind Salman Khan’s record of 18 films. The special thing is that out of these 20 films of Akshay Kumar, 6 movies were released after the pandemic, when the number of viewers in theaters was less. Despite this, Akshay has managed to deliver successful films continuously. After the success of ‘Bhoot Bangla’, now films like Housefull 5 and Kesari 2 are expected to give a new direction to his career. However, the time after the lockdown was challenging for him, when films like Samrat Prithviraj, Ram Setu, Bachchan Pandey and Raksha Bandhan did not succeed at the box office.
Secret of Akshay Kumar’s success
The reason behind this big achievement of Akshay Kumar is his smart film selection strategy and his brilliant period from 2007 to 2019. During this time, he used to work in 3-4 films every year, due to which his presence remained constant at the box office. On the other hand, stars like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan usually do only 1-2 films a year, whereas Aamir Khan does even fewer films. The strategy of doing more films in less budget took Akshay to the forefront in this list.
