The star has been rising despite some flukes and despite bad press for 'Kambakkht Ishq', but from the numbers, Akshay Kumar appears to be the new King of Bollywood.
However, Akshay Kumar said something a little different about his rise in Bollywood. He said "Really, ever since the time it became loud and clear that 'Kambakkht Ishq' had succeeded amongst the audiences, I'm being asked if I'm marching towards the top again.
My reply to them is that I'm happy living and dying being where I am and that's anywhere but on top...See, I'm a clown and not a king. Once a clown, always a clown! I belong in the ring, not on the podium."
In his recent interview, he was the first to admit that he's more interested in clowning around rather than taking the throne.
Still, he had some words for critics, saying "Well, critics to us are like how the tax man is to everyone. We all wish they didn't exist, but they do.
It's up to the people if they want someone else to make decisions for them. I know they definitely had a whale of a time with this one, didn't they? What to do? I can't force them to be nice to me and I'm not the type to put a gun to anyone's head; so let them be. I have faith that my audience will come and prove my work's worth. And this time they surely have and I love them for it."
At Desi Hits! however, we think we should let our readers decide. Do you think that Akshay Kumar has the potential for being the next King of Bollywood, knocking Shahrukh Khan out of the water? Or do you think that it's pure luck that so many people went to see 'Kambakkht Ishq'? Let us know what your opinion is with a comment.
