Their proven success only paves their paths to greater heights.
THE BORNE SUPREMACY
THE MAN BEHIND THE STAR

AKSHAY KUMAR’S CAREER GRAPH IS ENVIABLE, AND GESTURES, INSPIRATIONAL. HE CONTINUES TO RULE THE ROOST IN BOLLYWOOD, ALL COURTESY HIS WAY OF LIFE. IN A FREEWHEELING CONVERSATION WITH NIKSHUBHA GARG, THE SUPERSTAR GETS CANDID ABOUT WHAT MAKES HIM ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL NAMES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

Influencing one step at a time

What makes Akshay Kumar the most influential personality in Bollywood? While there are several reasons. First, his work ethic. The actor has worked with most producers multiple times, and confesses, “Every producer wants to work with an actor who will come on time, finish a film in time and within a stipulated budget. Right from the beginning, my Godfather taught me to be a producer’s actor and I continue to follow that. I have worked with all of my producers more than once, and it’s a record I’d never want to break.”

Owing to this quality, he consistently moved up the ladder and eventually garnered a position where he could not only choose the roles he wanted to do but also demand the right compensation. Today, he is amongst the highest-paid celebrities. In the recently released Forbes’ list of world’s highest-paid celebrities, Akshay clinched the 52nd spot with earnings of $48.5 million from June 2019 till May 2020. He is the only Indian to feature in the list.
