Of late, there’ve been news-reports that suggest that Akshay has grown insecure of Saif’s increasing popularity, post ‘Race’. These must be spiteful write-ups, for Akshay’s movies enjoy tremendous pull at multiplexes/single screens or metros/mini-metros/towns. In fact, the volume of business of Akshay’s films has put him on the pedestal, right next to SRK.
In Overseas, the biggest territory today, Akshay has attained a strong foothold. In UK., SRK occupies the top position, with Akshay being the No. 2 star there, if the business of Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome is an indicator.
In the U.S., Akshay is next to SRK and Hrithik [both Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar were massive hits and if Akshay starts featuring in romantic movies, the business should reach the same figure for sure.
The popularity of any actor is gauged by the price his films fetch and a solo Akshay starrer, Singh is King, has fetched Rs 71.4 crores, which clearly puts him right next to SRK and Aamir.
