Akshay Kumar birthday: Will 2017 be a blockbuster year for Akki with Jolly LLB 2, 2.0 & Crack?

Today the Akkians would be on celebratory mode for the very simple reason – it is Akshay Kumar’s birthday. Looking at the actor who will say that superstar has turned 49 today, he looks so damn young! The ladies would be jealous of Twinkle Khanna as she is super lucky to have such an amazing man in her life as her husband and the young lads and may be some actors from the industry would be burning inside seeing Akki’s super fit body. Everyone knows how disciplined is Akshay in both real and reel life. Though he has given many blockbusters Akshay is hardly seen boasting about his success and that what makes him different from that stars in the industry. This year was truly special for Akki and even for his fans.

Be it ‘Airlift’, ‘Housefull 3’ or ‘Rustom’, fans and critics loved Akshay Kumar’s performance in all these three films. Whether it is action, romance, comedy – Akki nails it with his charm and natural acting skills and mind you he has clearly said, comedy is the most difficult genre for any actor. Now the question is will the year 2017 turn out to be a blockbuster for our birthday boy just like this year? Will his upcoming films ‘Jolly LLB 2’, ‘2.0’ and ‘Crack’ slated to release in 2017 do commercially well at the box office? Will his roles in these films be accepted by the audience? There are so many questions that’s popping in our heads. It is definitely not so easy to deliver performance with ease and stay at top all the time. (ALSO READ: #HappyBirthdayAkshayKumar: Virender Sehwag calls Rustom star the best all-rounder in Bollywood!)

‘Jolly LLB 2’ is an upcoming courtroom comedy drama in which Akshay Kumar would be seen playing the role of a lawyer in this sequel. Huma Qureshi is paired opposite the actor in the film. Recently, Akki had tweeted a picture of his last shot of Lucknow schedule. Now this is going to be different genre. Akshay had started the year 2016 with a serious film ‘Airlift’ but it’s not the same in case of 2017. Now will that idea turn lucky for Akshay is what we have to see. The movie directed by Subhash Kapoor also stars Annu Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Elli Avram, Saurabh Shukla in key roles and Arshad Warsi in a cameo role.

The upcoming film ‘2.0’ is a sequel to ‘Enthiran’ and everyone were left stunned when the announcement was made that Akshay Kumar is going to share screen space with Rajinikanth.

His avatar was unrecognisable and not just that, he looked scary as hell. Now this is something unusual for Akkians and how far will it be accepted only time will tell. The movie directed by S. Shankar will be produced in three languages – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. (ALSO READ: OMG! Akshay Kumar’s CROW look in Robot 2 takes 6 hours to create)
