Akshay Kumar has become the first lead superstar from India to cross the 3000 crore mark. The cumulative net box office collections of all his career films has now touched the 3010 crore mark.
Among major stars who are currently at the top of their game in the industry, Akshay is the only actor to feature in more than 100 films. For a career that stretches more than 25 years, Akshay averages 4-5 films every year.
At the very beginning of his career in 1994, the actor did 11 years in one calendar year, which could be an all-time record for the highest films in a single year – not including actors who do character or side roles.
It has been a phenomenal career so far for arguably one of the most versatile superstars in the history of Indian Cinema. His best, however, could come in the next few years.

The Man worth 3000 crores
– Akshay Kumar.
Akshay Kumar is the only actor from Bollywood,
whose movies collectively has made 3000 crores. Well
that’s really a big number. No Khans or Kapoors have
been able to do it. Akshay Kumar made his debut back
in the 90s as a action hero, and today is one of the
highest paid actors in the world. Akshay Kumar is
even the highest tax payer in India.
Akshay Kumar started his career working at a travel
agency in Chowringhee in Kolkata. Then he went to
Bangkok where he worked as a Chef in a restaurant,
and then completed his martial arts course there. He
accidently got his Portfolio done, and got a
breakthrough by famous producer director back then,
Mr. Pramod Chakraborty.
His career has seen all highs and lows. Once Akshay
gave flops of 20 films in a trot. It was never easy
where he is now. He fought at every step, and the
simple man made it to the top. Today Akshay is
among the top five stars in the industry, and his
known for his signature comic skills, and for the
serious roles too. He for his major part of career has
been into mainstream films, but has done offbeat
films too.
Akshay owns a trend in the industry to make 3 to 4
films per year compared to other big names in the
industry. The Khans do a films each a year, and the A-
listed Kapoor’s do one or two films each year. The
revenue collection may be less compared to the
Khans, but movies of Akshay Kumar do a
commendable business. What works for Akshay that,
from the 3 to 4 films he does in a financial year, the
cumulative business it does is much more high than
the other big actors.
What does work really well for Akshay Kumar is that
he does his job with perfection. Choosing a apt
project, doing different genres in a year to promoting
them well. From comedy to serious to noir dramas to
action to social to anything he is good at. He is an
amazing actor and human being. He is never late to
his shooting, and neither have any habit of partying or
wasting money for useless issues.
Akshay is known for his philanthropic deeds for the
social causes. He has an admirable amount of fan
following and huge fan base in both India and
overseas. Akshay Kumar is never pulled into any
controversy and neither does he put himself in such a
situation. He has a all clean image and always pays
all his taxes in advance. He doesn’t work with the big
production houses, but his movies does make a lot of
money. His critically acclaimed works is noted for his
methodical acting and sharp skills.
We congratulate Akshay Kumar for such a feat, and
wish his movies keep on earning thousands of crores.
You deserve it Mr. Khiladi !
Meanwhile Salman cross 5000cr Worldwide, only actor to do so and it’s trending in Twitter at 5 position,
#SalmanHighest5000crWorldwide
#SalmanHighest5000crWorldwide
Indicine can you please confirm this news….
Akkis Daava had clashed with Srks yes boss in 1997
Aitraaz with Veer Zaara in 2004
Jaaneman with Don in 2006
CE after 5 days with OUATIMD
everytime srk has won
But with Salman always Akki has won
Andaaz apna apna opened 55 pc lower than suhaag
kyunki was crunched by Garam masala
Main aur mrs khanna defeated by blue
so before 2010 from 90s to then
srk>akki>salman
but now srk s FAN has flopped badly. Akki is a bigger star of 2016
most no of flops and disasters
dil to paagal hai -akshay’s movie ! Lol ! His flop record and movie count per year is very close to mithun !
Most amazing fact about this Greedy Gobbar is not that he can star in 4-5 crapfests in a single yr but according to Paragraph 3 opening sentence he can infact squeeze 11 yrs into 1 yr so in 1994 he starred in a manmoth record of 44-55 mahacraps…!
Amazing feat/ Great sentence
A – A Versatile Actor
K – Khiladi Of Bollywood
S – Selfmade Superstar
H – Hero Of India
A – An Unmatchable Superstar
Y – Yammy Tasty & Crunchy
K – King of Box office
U – Unbeatable Talent
M – Master of Action
A – An Unsung & Unique Hero
R – Ruler of Bollywood, Record Breaker
Hats off to Akshay Kumar
Congratulations to Akshay Sir for Being First Superstar to Cross #3000 Crore.
Salute You Superstar Akshay
Haters are still using some Excuses to bring him down…!
And
@Ultron stupid Dog
By doing more movies , there is more risk involved and you should know it very well as you are salman fan. You know what I mean?
even ajay have done more than 90 movies but hasn’t cross even 2000 so far ? Why?
Because it’s not everybody’s cup of tea to get success by doing multiple movies in a year…! HE IS REAL KING OF BOLLYWOOD
Even Donal Trump claims to be successful but with inheriting around $200 million dollars from his daddy n squandering it plus on top of that there were some 4 bankruptcies doesnt make his claims of being successful valid…!
Just think of All those producers, distributors n exhibitors that our joker boy has bankrupted over the years…
@ANAND LOL .
Have you seen written the number of balls sachin Tendulkar faced to Score 1600 plus runs in ODI’S? No
He is scored this much centuries and this much average. That’s all matters and written .
Same way Akshay has given 40 plus successful movies,3000 cr business with an average of 28 per movie despite doing multiple movies . That’s says all about his career.
Great acheivment….can u make article also ..on salman khan ..he earned 5000cr ww today ..if is it possible ..so make it..!!
@Raj 2.0 average will counted as 28 not 27 ..it’s 27.61
BTW if 28 is weak than wat about average of Ajay devgan that is just 19,equals to Saif Ali khan ?? …Lol
Now lets hope Akshay Kumar will surpass 4k crore in 2018 and 5k crore in 2020 considering his current consistency at BO..
The fact that inspite of so many flops and disasters in the beginning and middle of his career akki has survived and is now delivering great movies , testifies that he has a great fan base that has allways stuck by his side and supported him. I think there are only 2 superstars ie. Salman and akki.
Shahrukh is only as great as his production banner and direcor is.
Aamir is only as great as his movies are (though his great movie choices cant be taken away from him)
But the fact remains only 2 superstars in this industry have passed the litmus test of successive failures and came back with a bang evertime.
Mithun Chakraborty holds the record for the most number of movies released in a year in quite a few years in the 80s
Respect from a aamir fan,,,
12 disasters
38 flops
10 below average
60 movies were without profit. Akhsays hardwork needs to be appreciated.
May be he was desperate to do movies just to hold his positions in the industry.
He was lucky enough to have survive and then started chosing the right movies lately.
Otherwise there are not many actors who got so many chances like Suneil/Sunny/Aditya pancholi/KumarGaurav/ Abhishek/Vivek.
True that he did not get big banner backing but no banner can be blamed as his success ratio was very low since beginning.
All khans delivered blockbusters since their debut, may be that was the reason for big banners not backing up.Plus his action image was also one of the reason.Amitabh dominated 80’s with angry young man image and action movies.
Industry was just finding a way again in romantic genre with three khans in 90’s while Akshay fitted in action genre.
I am not Akshay hater.
But after seeing the average ,this record doesn’t seem to be that great.
Consistent failures and disasters throughout the beginning and middle of akshays career and yet he is one of the biggest superstar of this era testifies that he enjoys a loyal fanbase that only probably Salman apart from him enjoys.
They are the only superstars of this generation.
Shahrukh is nothing without the backing of big banners and big directors.
Aamir is only due to his great choice and body of work.(thats a great positive though)
But only akki and sallu have failed and reached hights. Only these 2 have passed the litmus test of failures cuz they have a big,real and loyal fanbase
Iam certain that rest anybody would not have survived to see 3000 crores.
He’s great actor..?
But
Muze to FLOP mein se hit dhoondna pada…ATBB to Mila hi nai..?
@indicine
Why don’t you make (or update) an article on total collections of each actor and average collections per movie???
11 movies in one single year (1994) ?? It means he shot one movie in 32 days. That speaks about his quantity of movies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever it is an achievement. It is obvious that higher number of movies higher number of total collections. But Dil Toh Pagal Hai should not be counted in this. Salman Khan had more role in KKHH than Akki had in DTPH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Sunny, Nothing against Akki. That’s something I want when Salman makes his entry soon.
You can’t the numbers of balls used in cricket with the budgets used or money ? invested to make a film.
And Sunny, somebody has asked you what your next ? will be.
For example, you have used Sundi Sunny Akkiholic, Rustom Sunny Akkiholic and now Jolly Sunny Akkiholic.
Next will be ‘Toilet Sunny Akkiholic, no? ‘
