Akshay Kumar is known for commanding a significant remuneration, making him one of the highest-paid heroes in the industry.
As with other high-earning actors, the budget allocated for his films is substantial.
When these movies succeed, the profits are enormous, but in the unfortunate event of a flop, the losses can be equally substantial.
The cumulative losses from Akshay Kumar's flop movies have amounted to around a thousand crore rupees in a sequential manner.
It's worth noting that these losses are not borne by a single individual; instead, they are distributed among various stakeholders, including producers and distributors.
As per the current market system, distributors are among those who suffer the most significant losses when a big-budget movie fails.
For instance, in recent times, Akshay Kumar's films alone have incurred a loss of four hundred crores of rupees.
Films like Samrat Prithviraj and Ram Sethu, with shares of 140 crores and 70 crores, respectively, have contributed to these losses.
Additionally, other flops, including films such as Rakshabandhan, Bachchan Pandey, Tashaan, Rowdy Rathore, and Kambakt Ishq, have added to the total losses, surpassing a thousand crores.
Despite these losses, Akshay Kumar has also been associated with numerous super hit films, some of which have been produced with relatively low budgets, leading to substantial profits. This versatility has cemented his status as a star hero.
Throughout his illustrious career spanning over 100 films, approximately 60 percent have faced flops, while the remainder have achieved varying degrees of financial success, ranging from breaking even to turning a profit.
