Akshay Kumar's films turning out to be flops

Mumbai: There was a time when Akshay Kumar was considered one of the most dependable actors in the film industry. However, off late the actor's films haven't been able even draw a good initial at the box office.

Khiladi Kumar needs to worry as not only has his Diwali release Action Replayy failed at the box office, it's had one of the lowest openings ever for any Akshay Kumar starrer. The film was from a team which has delivered several hits in the past including Waqt and Namastey London.

The year 2010 has not been a great one for Akshay as his last release Khatta Meetha, too, sank without a trace at the box office. His second small screen venture as host on Master Chef India has not seen any significant TRPs.

Housefull is the only hit he has to his credit currently. Last year, too, five Akshay starrers - Chandni Chowk To China, 8x10 Tasveer, Kambhakt Ishq, Blue and De Dana Dan failed to live up to expectations.

So why is the Khiladi losing his charm with the audience. Is he getting typecast in loud comic roles or just not taking enough risks by working with new directors?

"Akshay has been for a while decided not to do serious films, so that leaves him with comedy only because he has not done action for a while, and doing the same kind of comedy is not working," says film critic Indu Mirani.

Akshay's next big release Tees Maar Khan is scheduled to release on December 24.

Sold to UTV for Rs 60 crore, the film has been directed by Farah Khan. The film has a lot of expectations riding on it since it's the first time Farah is working without Shah Rukh Khan after delivering two blockbusters with him.

"We hit it off immediately, he delivered better than what I expected," says Farah.

Also in the pipeline are 'Patiala House' and 'Thank You', both of them run of the mill comedies. Will Akshay Kumar have to reconsider this image change from action star to comedy king soon? The fate of 'Tees Maar Khan' may be the deciding factor.

Akshay stop those stupid disgusting comedy movies before its too late.

You hit the nail in the head. Although i think its already too late.

I think Akshay is definitely back on track with Housefull and now even more Tees Maar Khan! He'll definitely be in the top 3 BO wise top actors list!!!! Go Akki! I always love and watch your movies :) Love you!

Its all because he was over confident . He even told in articles he is the real badshah of BW which he is not.

Housefull wasn't even a big hit i dont think so! At least not as a big hit as Dabang or even GOlmaal 3! So Akki needs to step it up! Hopefully TMK will save him, but judging the film's content from the promo may God help him is all i can say!

This trend worries me.....I hope he signs movies with great caution...

I don't think he said that he is the real baadshah of bollywood, he said that BigB is the real Baadshah of Bollywood which is totally true!

Anyways, I really hope that TMK rocks the box office, I love Akki!
