in the last 4 years, hes been part of omg, special26, baby, holiday. these were all good films but dont have a single major award in their name. I dont mean like best actor or best film, but they havnt even gotten any nominations even for screenplay, editing, story . Did they not get nominated just because akshay is associated with them because they are easily better than alot of films that got nominated. This year he had airlift which i think will not get any nominations again. its really sad when a person is trying to do good work and gets ignored year after year.

Akshay is very inconsistent. For every one major hit, he gives around 3 flops. I guess he gets enough recognition and also, he probably earns the most money every year. Film hit ho ya flop, he gets some money and for hit films, he even gets a huge share of the profits. Ab aur kya chahiye

Because Akki is not in camp of any leading film production house since the start of his career.

He doesn't have any sugardaddy...He didn't demanded award in exchange of presence or dance performance in award shows😉

Also recently he has been very inconsistent with his choices. One great film like special 26 and two faltu films against that.

This year has potential to be Akkis year. Airlift is a big hit. Rustom looks very good too. and there is masala entertainer houseful3.

Because they were good movies but nothing special.
I just wish Akki becomes bit choosy.

Look at this year itself...He is going to from a Airlift to a Houseful-3. That in itself should answer your question.

Akshay does not get his due because he is here for the money; this is something he has admitted to doing. Yes, for the sake of his fans hes done a Holiday, Baby, Gabbar, Airlift, Special 26 etc etc... But let us not forget that most of his films have been horrible.

If he wants to get his due as an "actor" - he needs to be more consistent and not pickup horrible work. However, as a brand I think his consistency, stability and the amount of work he gets is more than enough in terms of getting his due.

He's a pretty huge star though regardless.

im not really talking about box office or public acceptance. i am talking about the recoginition a movie gets on award nights. his career has nothing to do with how good a film is. neither is the fact that he is inconsistent in his movie choices. every movie should be critiqued on its own merit. what the actor does in other movies shouldnt matter. baby, special 26, airlift were more critically acclaimed than a lot of award winning films whether its critics reviews or imdb. airlift got better reviews than bajirao mastani but i dont think itll win any awards. most people consider omg better than pk but pk got loads of awards while omg had none

He has a Rustom too

SRK has stopped doing quality movies for long (until Fan ofcourse)

Sallu is synonymous for kick and ready (until BB happened)

Akki is trying to compensate with a baby, airlift, special 26 atleast once in a year

Why should the rule be applicable only for Sallu?

Akshay has been doing a lot of crappy films. Infact even in the last 2-3 years 75% of his films have been crappy. It takes a long time to break an image. Especially when you have a Baby, Special 26, Holiday and Airlift but you also have a Singh is Bling, Brothers, Khiladi 786, Gabbar, Entertainment, Boss, OUATIMD, Joker, Rowdy Rathore to name a few. But having said that I think with Airlift people have started taking him seriously now.

Also despite his efforts some other actor has always topped his efforts in the last few years since 2011. That hasnt helped either.
