Akshay Kumar churned out the maximum hits last year and is now charging more that 20 crores for a film. However ,trade analysts feel despite his achievements and consistency, Akshay is far behind Shah Rukh Khan ,but is still down to earth person still and is unperturbed by his success graph . Akhi feels that he has much more to conquer still and is hoping more hits this year.

But Akshay is not competing with the Khans or Amitacbh Bachchan any longer. After the success of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” ,trade pundits are comparing him with the south Indian Superstar Rajnikanth . Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s script has been inspired from Rajni’s Chandramukhi released in 2005.

Rajni’s Shivaji- The boss has collected 15 crore’s and is said that Rajnikanth is charging 16 crores /film, post the success of Sivaji.

Similarly, After giving four hits in row –“ Heyy Babyy” ,”Namaste London” and “Bhool Bhuliaya” and “Welcome”, Akshay has hiked his price and signed the next film by Venus Records for 22 crore.

Akhi with his consistency has earned a Title called Hindi Film Hit Machine.

If last year was dedicated to comedies, 2008 will see him going back to his original genre-ACTION.

In Nikhil’s Advani’ new action –Adventure –comedy,”Chandni Chowk to China” which also happens to depict his Akhi’s life story, akhi will be seen in his Edge Of the sEat Stunts. The actor who was out of practice for more than 7 years ,trained in a form of Martial arts known as Wushu for film. the movie will cost Rs.100 crore and that makes it one of the costliest Hindi films so far.

So, let’s hope that our Akhi will maintain his success streak in 2008 and will also be a down to earth person inspite of his growing career and finance.
