After three flops, Akshay Kumar's search for success continues with the list of films including Ram Setu, OMG 2, and Selfiee among others.
After giving the highest-grossing Hindi film Sooryavanshi last year, Akshay Kumar is going through a lean phase with three back-to-back failures in the form of Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, and Raksha Bandhan. However, Khiladi Kumar still has plenty of films in his kitty to bounce back as the box office king. (All images: File photos)
