Will Kesari 2 turn out a game changer for Akshay Kumar like Pathaan did for Shah Rukh Khan?

The trailer of Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 created quite a buzz. Unlike his last few releases like Sky Force and Selfiee this one from the Bollywood superstar has developed the right hype necessary to attract audience to the theatre. Based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and how an Indian lawyer fought the case in London’s High Court, Akshay Kumar’s role seems to have grabbed a lot of attention.

He is playing C Sankaran Nair, the famous Indian lawyer who fought the case against the British Empire.

For Akshay Kumar, both the role and the story seem perfect fit

Most of the patriotic movies or films that depict nationalism and love for humanity like Airlift, Kesari, Holiday, and Baby have done well for Akshay Kumar. He has always been loved in the role of an Indian who can do or die for his country. And this particular role of C Sankaran Nair has all the right flavours to bring out that same personality in Akshay Kumar .

That is why many Bollywood fans are thinking that Kesari 2 can be the game changer for Akshay Kumar the way Pathaan was for Shah Rukh Khan. The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actor was struggling badly to deliver a hit after most of his movies like Zero, Fan, Harry Meets Sejal tanked badly at the box-office.

Most of the fans thought that the superstardom of SRK was a thing of the past and it will be difficult for him to bounce back. But Pathaan demolished all such opinions and speculations and Shah Rukh Khan re-established his supremacy over Bollywood with this YRF film. It was followed by another blockbuster Jawan which further consolidated his position.

Akshay Kumar has better movies in the pipeline

Kesari 2 indeed looks promising and can be the big hit Akshay is looking for. Moreover, the famous Khiladi of Bollywood also has some good comedy films lined up for release or on the floors. From Hera Pheri 3 to Bhoot Bangla, a series of comedy movies will release one by one in the coming years.

Since fans love Akshay Kumar’s impeccable comic timing he most probably will regain his lost stardom with Kesari 2 and the other films in the coming couple of years.
