before PK, OMG came dealing with same topic, OMG even got appreciated and got a national award, but because it hurt the ego of khan fans and the media they neglect OMG and overrated PK. Their feeling toward akki is how dare a comedy stunt man make a movie like OMG.
Airlift a movie he won National Award was also a good movie, also well acted, Kesari was also he acted well and he deserved some appreciation.
Seems weird to generalize "Khan fans" like that, plenty of SRK fans don't like Salman Khan and many Aamir fans are not fans of SRK or Salman etc. its not like its one fanbase.
Anyway OMG was great and interesting but it has not a big hit and Akshay back then had little BO pull like he does now, meanwhile PK was a huge blockbuster so obviously the latter is known more.
Airlift is the only movie Akshay has done in the last 6+ years which was at least enjoyable. Kesari sucked just like Mission Mangal or Gold or any of the other boring forgettable movies he has done lately. None of these movies are remembered even now, meanwhile Aamir's movies like PK, 3 Idiots or Dangal will always be popular (same for SRK and Salman's best movies or Hrithik's)
That's the issue with Akshay, he cares more about quantity instead of quality. Look at his line up for this year and the next. Literally nothing interesting
