Mumbai, April 16: Akshay Kumar is making a comeback to the comedy genre with his upcoming film ‘Bhoot Bangla,’ set to release on April 19. The actor, alongside director Priyadarshan, is ready to create a buzz at the box office. Fans and industry insiders have high expectations for this film.
This duo has a successful track record, which adds to the anticipation surrounding the release. Akshay Kumar initially rose to fame through action films but later transitioned to comedy. Early in his career, he established himself as ‘Khiladi Kumar’ with hits like ‘Khiladi,’ ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari,’ ‘Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi,’ and ‘Sabse Bada Khiladi.’ These films solidified his status in Hindi cinema. Notably, Kumar is a trained martial artist and performed many dangerous action scenes without assistance. His films were not only hits but also achieved impressive box office collections, earning him the title of ‘Khiladi Kumar’ in the 90s.
Despite the success of his action films, Kumar found himself typecast in serious roles, receiving similar offers. He expressed a desire to showcase his versatility as an actor but struggled to find roles outside of action. In 2000, he received an offer from Priyadarshan for the film ‘Hera Pheri,’ where he was initially cast as Shyam but wanted to play Raju. This film allowed him to display his comedic timing, body language, and dialogue delivery, making audiences laugh.
‘Hera Pheri’ was a massive hit, leading to more comedy films like ‘Phir Hera Pheri,’ ‘Welcome,’ ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi,’ ‘Garam Masala,’ ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa,’ ‘Bhagam Bhag,’ ‘Singh is Kinng,’ and ‘Hey Baby.’ These films established him as the ‘Comedy King.’ Now, after a long break, he is ready to test his luck in comedy once again. This film could potentially revive his career, especially since his recent releases post-2023 have either flopped or performed averagely. Films like ‘Kesari Chapter 2,’ ‘Mission Raniganj,’ ‘Selfie,’ ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,’ and ‘Sky Force’ have not met expectations.
