Akshay Kumar has rapidly become one of the most lucrative actors in recent years. With each movie he makes earning him an arm and leg, Akshay – who stars in multiple films every year – is riding high. In 2019 alone he starred in four movies including Kesari, Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, and Good News! And looking at just the Indian box office for these films – all four crossed that Rs. 150 crores figure threshold and became blockbusters too! If that weren’t enough? Well just counting up his collection abroad for 2019 reveals that Kumar made over Rs 1000 crores (£120 Million) between those films alone!
