The trade analysts have ranked Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and Abhishek Bachchan as the top three Bollywood heroes of the year 2005 whereas they ranked Rani Mukherjee, Bipasha Basu, Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra the top heroines of Hindi cinema of the year 2005.
It's Akshay everywhere across the globe and in the hearts of the moviegoers. He has defeated all the big wheels of Bollywood and topped the list of top Bollywood stars. He stood first followed by Saif Ali Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and John Abraham. The actor is in great demand and laced with the bigger opportunities to do more and more now. Akshay is geared up to bag awards for his splendid acting in the movies churned out in last year. He rocked in 2005. He is now a big threat for all the heroes on Bollywood topography. Recently a New York based publication declared him the 'Star of the Year' because of his seven hits in a row starting with Khakee and ending with Garam Masala. Since he is now a hot property and everybody loves to be associated with him, he has signed a two-year deal lately with the entertainment unit of Madison Communications where he will be pocketing Rs.10 crores per year. He has also endorsed Thums Up and D'damas, which brought him huge fame as well. The coveted film journalist-columnist-author Shobha De rated him the Brightest Star to Watch for in the year 2006.
Good going Akshay, all and sundry love to see you touching the heights.
