the talk of the town at this point
in time since he has finally
recorded his first solo
blockbuster. As per the reports,
'Rowdy Rathore', which was
released on June 1, has earned
over Rs. 120 crore at the box
office and it is still pulling a lot of
people to the cinema halls.
Perhaps this is a reason why the
film has found a place in Top-5
Bollywood films of all times.
With the success of 'Rowdy
Rathore', directed by Prabhu
Deva, Akshay has also left behind
the superstars of the industry
like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik
Roshan.
"Rowdy Rathore has now
comfortably surpassed 120
crores in its third weekend itself,
hence leaving behind the likes of
Ra.One (115 crore), Agneepath
(120 crores) and for that matter
even Salman Khan's Ready (121
crores)", confirmed a trade
source.
Salman Khan is still ahead of
Akshay, as his films like 'Dabangg'
and 'Bodyguard' generated
amounts over Rs 140 crore each.
Nevertheless, it looks only a
matter of time now before
Akshay will surpass him because
according to the sources 'Rowdy
Rathore' is expected to gross
more money than this.
"It would be quite difficult to
cross that milestone though
since in coming weeks, Akshay
faces challenge from Shahid
Kapoor (Teri Meri Kahaani) and
The Amazing Spiderman which
arrive back to back", an insider
added, "However Rowdy Rathore
would now come close to the
135 crore mark, which is a huge
achievement considering the fact
that Akshay was facing rough
weather during last year. Now
with both Housefull 2 and Rowdy
Rathore doing so well and
Akshay finding a very strong
positioning for him (with Aamir
Khan ruling from the top,
courtesy 3 Idiots at 202 crores),
things have heated up all over
again."
Well, Akshay Kumar returned to
the action movies after a gap of
seven years and he once again
proved that he is the original
'Khiladi' of the Bollywood
industry. Let's see what the actor
brings for his fans now.
