MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar is known for defining his versatility and treating his fans with his movies 3 to 4 times in a year but this year of 2021 will be really special for the actor and it’s a treat for all the akkians to see him many times on screens.
The actor, who is known for often releasing films back to back, had only one release in the year gone by. Laxmii, co-starring Kiara Advani, released on an OTT platform in 2020 and opened to largely negative reviews from viewers and critics alike. Apart from many things the actor is known and loved for, it's also his dedication and discipline on the work front that makes headlines. Many of his co-stars have often talked about how Akshay is always punctual on the sets and how the shoot is bound to start and wrap up on time if it's an Akshay Kumar-starrer.
With the new year, Akshay is all set to rule the screen with as many as 7 films in the pipeline. While mentioned below are 7 films, Akshay can also announce a few more, who knows!
As we enter 2020 with a hope to watch films, films and more films, here are all the Akshay Kumar films that are gearing up for a release this year:
Sooryavanshi
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is all set to bring another offering from his cop universe titled Sooryavanshi. Co-starring Akshay and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles, the film also has cameos from Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn who've played Simmba and Singham respectively. The trio, in fact, had also united for a extravagant trailer launch of the film. Akshay plays DCP Veer, who heads the Anti-Terrorism Squad.
