Bollywood’s superstar duo, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, both known for their successful careers, faced a string of disappointing performances at the box office in recent years. Despite receiving positive reviews for some of their films, the box office collections failed to meet expectations, raising concerns about their future prospects in the industry.

However, the tides appear to be turning. Both stars recently made a major comeback with the hit film Singam Again, which not only earned positive feedback but also recorded impressive collections at the box office. With their careers back on track, both Akshay and Ajay are taking proactive steps to ensure their upcoming films are successful—not just for themselves but also for their producers.

In a surprising move, both stars have decided to take profit-sharing deals for their upcoming films. Instead of asking for a fixed salary, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn will now receive a percentage of the profits from their films, allowing their producers to share in the success (or failure) of the project.

This decision comes at a time when the financial pressures on Bollywood producers have been rising. Many producers are hesitant to invest in big-budget projects with top stars due to the risks involved. By taking a profit-sharing approach, Akshay and Ajay are offering a safety net for producers. If the film performs well, they will benefit from the profits, but if the film fails, they will not receive any remuneration, reducing the financial burden on the producer.

This decision reflects a shift in the industry’s dynamics, where actors, aware of their influence and the fluctuating nature of box office performance, are taking more responsibility for the financial outcomes of their projects. It remains to be seen how effective this strategy will be in the long run, but it marks a significant change in the way Bollywood stars approach their careers and collaborations with producers.

After delivering a hattrick of blockbusters in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan shattering box office records, followed by the success of Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan continues to reign as Bollywood’s ultimate superstar. His upcoming film King, which will release in 2026, is already being touted as one of the most awaited films of the decade. Trade analyst Sumit Kadel shared his insights, saying, “There is no denying that he remains the most sought-after star. King will be released in 2026, followed by Pathaan 2. These films will mark his return to the screen three years after the box office blitzkrieg of 2023.”

Rumors have also swirled about King Khan collaborating with Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik, but sources close to both say that in Bollywood, nothing is official until the ink has dried. For now, fans are eagerly awaiting King, where Shah Rukh will share the screen with his daughter Suhana, marking her foray into mainstream Bollywood.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is also making waves as he shoots for AR Murugadoss’s Sikander, and has signed on for a project with Jawan director Atlee, set to release in 2026. However, Salman has not delivered a massive hit since Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017, and it remains to be seen how his upcoming films will fare.

2023 has been a monumental year for Bollywood, witnessing the resurgence of both Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, proving that reinvention is the key to staying relevant in the ever-changing landscape of Indian cinema. As the Khans and other big names like Akshay Kumar approach 60, they must continue adapting to evolving audience expectations. “Gone are the days when stardom alone could draw in crowds,” said a prominent exhibitor.

Akshay Kumar, too, is set for a comeback with Housefull 5 after a series of box office disappointments, including Bade Miyan Chotte Miyan, Sarphira, and Khel Khel Mein. He is also reuniting with filmmaker Priyadarshan for the first time in 14 years, hoping to recreate the magic of their earlier hits like Hera Pheri and Garam Masala. Priyadarshan acknowledged the challenge, saying, “We can’t match the expectations of the audience, but I’m trying my best.”

With King on the horizon, Shah Rukh Khan’s 59th birthday promises to be a milestone event not just for the actor but for Bollywood fans around the globe.

While details about his character in Housefull 5 remain under wraps, the creators assure audiences that the movie will deliver the same level of entertainment synonymous with the franchise. In addition to Abhishek, Housefull 5 features esteemed actors like Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Notably, Abhishek is set to join the cast of The King, a film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, where he will portray the antagonist. Filming for The King is scheduled to begin early next year.

On a personal note, Abhishek and his spouse Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been faced with persistent rumors about their relationship, despite close sources dismissing such claims.

Interestingly, this is not the first time that the theme of plane hijackings has been explored in movies and series. Films like ‘Hijack’ (2008) on Netflix, ‘Bell Bottom’ (1980) on Amazon Prime Video, and ‘Neerja’ (2016) on Disney Plus Hotstar have also captured the dramatic narratives of such incidents.

‘Bell Bottom,’ starring Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Vaani Kapoor, Zain Khan Durrani, and Momita Moitra, revisits a true event from 1980 involving a plane hijack. The film provides a cinematic retelling of the passengers’ ordeal during the crisis.

On the other hand, ‘Neerja,’ featuring Sonam Kapoor and Shabana Azmi, pays homage to the courageous Neerja Bhanot, an air hostess who sacrificed her life to save passengers during the Pan Am Flight 73 hijacking in 1986.

The film ‘Hijack’ starring Shiny Ahuja and Esha Deol, directed by Krunal Shivdasani, focuses on the Indian Airlines Flight 814 hijack where terrorists took control of a plane in Dubai.

Moreover, other notable films like ‘Gaganam,’ ‘IB71,’ ‘Chor Nikhale Ka Bhaga,’ ‘Yodha,’ and ‘Zameen’ have also explored themes related to plane hijackings, showcasing diverse perspectives on these intense and gripping events.

As viewers engage with these narratives, discussions on the portrayal of sensitive subjects like terrorism and hijackings continue to evolve, highlighting the intersection of art, history, and public discourse in the realm of entertainment.
