Is Akki the new king of B-Town?
Akshay Kumar is the newest king of the box-office. The actor’s next mega release, Singh Is Kinng has been sold everywhere for an astronomical price.
In many territories, the movie has got a much higher price than Shah Rukh Khan’s last movie Om Shanti Om. Does that mean Akki is the new king of B-Town?
An industry insider reveals, “Akshay’s market value and price has been growing by the second. Since the last few years, the actor started delivering hits at will. Almost all his films that have released in the past two years have gone on to become blockbusters, barring his last outing (Tashan), which was a dud. But his next (SIK) has been sold for amazing prices all over the globe.”
Big deals
Sajid Nadiadwala, the film’s producer and distributor got the movie the best territories (Punjab and Central India (CI)) which has a great Punjabi dominance. He has got the movie for somewhere close to Rs 5 crores. SRK’s last movie was sold for Rs 2 crores in the same territories.
Though he is not willing to disclose the exact amount Nadiadwala says, “Yes, I have bought the distribution rights at a huge price for Punjab and CI provinces, which include Indore, MP and Berar. It’s the highest ever for any film till now for these provinces. Akshay’s Welcome had sold for two and half crore for Punjab and CI.
Not even Gadar or Dhoom got such a high price. I have bought the distribution rights under Nadiadwala Entertainment Works which also distributed Om Shanti Om and Heyy Babyy. I only select films after I have read the scripts and am very confident of. I know SIK will justify my faith. It’s also close to my heart as Akshay is in the film.”

Let RNBDJ,ghajini release ,it might be sold at even higher prices.but as of now akki can smile.
WTF?
They are just talking about one territory. And it’s very imperative that the film will be sold big in Punjabi belt.
The important thing would be if the movie had been sold for bigger price than OSO in accumulative figures (All India + Overseas).
This is called SELECTIVE JOURNALISM to prove a point. Which in this case is to prove that Akki is NOW a bigger star than SRK.
How ridiculous!
IMFRZ stop crying…just because Akshay today is the biggest boxoffice star why dont you just accept it…
His SINGH IS KING will break all opening week records!!!
If his film nets 50+crore first week…we should all accept AKSHAY is the no1 star in india!!
People who still talk bad of him are just jealous….
GUYS NO NEED TO FIGHT OKAY
SEE SRK IS THE KING
JUST AGREE TO IT
AKSHAY DOES TERRIFIC COMEDY
BUT COMMON GUYS HE CANT BE KING OF BOLLYWOOD…..JUST THINK DONT REPLY
AMITABH OR SRK OR DILIP
THERE ARE REAL KINGS
AKSHAY STILL DOSENT HAVE THOSE IMAGE…..OKAY TC
Rizwan!
“just because Akshay today is the biggest boxoffice star why dont you just accept it…”
2 years don’t can’t. Plus, if you take overall figure (india+overseas) SRK still comes triumphant.
And if you believe, akshay is bigger, why don’t you believe that SRK is much much bigger than AB for the last 15 years.
You are a hypocritic.
“Justice V M Kanada, while hearing his petition on Wednesday refused to grant ad-interim relief to Monga. After the court rejected Monga’s plea seeking stay on television telecast of OSO on Sunday, August 10, ”
Where were these guys earlier. Poor loosers.
Now this is news….Akshay’s SIK being sold out more than OSO’s…hmmm…I knew Akshay is a good contender for no.1 of late but didn’t expect him to grow that BIG…. I think his exact status will be judged after SIK’s release. If it hits bull’s eye, then certainly, he is no.1
AMITABH,AKSHAY,AAMIR KHAN,SALMAN KHAN = SHARUKH KHAN IN MINUS ZONE AND IF OSO IS STRIPPED OF ITS TAKING THEN IT IS NO MORE BLOCKBUSTER BUT A DISASTER OF 2007
vijay all SRK fans are having sleepless nights over Akshay Kumar and SINGH is KING
hahahahahah
talk about insecurity..
I hope SINGH IS KING shatters all of OSO records
SRK IS NOTHING BUT A COPYCAT,FIRST HE COPIED big b THEN COPING SECOND HALF OF OSO OF MADHUMATI,PLEASE ALL SRK FANS KEEP NOT SHOUTING THAT HE IS ASLI BOLLYWOOD KING BECAUSE HE IS NOT
RIZWAN,all these srk fans will have massive jagran and flying kites in mid august when its monsoon
vijay arun n nishint and rizwan u all r hypocraits u c…..u once call AB d KINg n @ the same time call akki d King…u r such big loosers…..
for the topic i just have to say that its a territory based which is as said by imfrz…sick journalism….
one more thing…..
if the craze for akki is so high then i must ask him to do a serious kinda movie with serious role and pull public to theaters as his comdedies doing…..SRK whether gave hit or flop always managed to get public in to the theaters….!! n most of the time succeeded…..i hope u get it right….
n vijay i don’t even bother what SIK will do…for me SRK is the KING !! and thats on facts i posted in other topic…go and have a look @ that… AKKI movie comes @ no. 20 while top 5 r SRK movies mostly…..
now u morons can start blah blah……
just one serious movie at least hit …then he just came in competition till then he is just a comedian with good acting skills no doubt about that…..
just post some figures idiots to prove yr point ! just because it was sold higher than OSO in SOME territories…u read that word “SOME” with punjabi sector only….thats making this article more foolish n bull shit

“”vijay arun n nishint and rizwan u all r hypocraits u c…..u once call AB d KINg n @ the same time call akki d King…u r such big loosers…..”"
we are not hypocrites. We never said that BIG B is KING. We sai that he is EMPEROR…the SHAHENSHAH and he really is….No doubt. King is lower than an EMPEROR. And fyi, Akshay rated BIG B as KING, not we….Ur feeling basically the heat and insecurity because there is someone to dethrone SRk totally. poor u
before OSO why they don’t claim that any film sold this much big amount .These all thing came after OSO sold for the first time before the movie release OSO gets its profit .But after OSO there are talk about gajni , welcome, Sing is king and bla bla….Did ever SRK claim that his film make profit before its release NOOOOOOOOOOOO.Only those people who claim by them self that they are the KINNG they badly need this type of publicity for there film not the PEOPLES KING.First SRK Proves that he is the best by sold his film on such a high price THEN he make the WORLD crazy about THE SIX PACK abs .Now every one want to get six packs .This is the POWER of THE REAL KING.DO what u want to do u people will never ever like our KING KHAN .
The person who is called KING KHAN is all rounder, by just working in one film naming kinng doesn’t make him king, he is treating himself like a king, so, let him be fly high in the air, and freinds SRK never fights for this title, then why should we, because the reality everyone knows that SRK is SUNSHINE according to new title, which has been crowned by the foreigners, not us the asians. So, if someone from the other zone can love him so much, it shows who reigns the bolly and plus all around the world cine lovers and cine goers too. Long Live SRK. Ameen!!!
i know that will happen about my film
shah rukh/ his fans gonna die with jelouse, now akshay is the king

Atleast Akshay did not need to go to cricket games wearing a top of SINGH IS KING…
SRK did this for OSO..what cheap publicity and he claimed i love cricket…what rubbish!!!! He was there to hijack the platform to advertise his film. INDIA PAKISTAN FINAL, and the monkey was there waving the indian flag BUT wearing a OSO TSHIRT. talk about cheap advertising…
AKSHAY does not need to do this..he is much better than that monkey….
I hope SINGH IS KING shatters the first week records!!

remember!
when m good m good…bt when m bad m better
so next time come with facts….u lil chaps….
OSO was OSO, I am hundred percent sure that in this rainy season, this SIK can’t break the OSO record, why these stupid people are dreaming of SIK breaking all the record set by previous blockbusters. I am not sure it will do so. Of course this will do the good buisiness but not as OSO did. It can’t break the record of Akshay’s own blockbuster Welcome either.
welcome was super hit as per its high cost
Akshay is a good actor no doubt. But Shahrukh has remained at top for many years and never claims to be king or breaking records. His fans love him in all countries. Have seen german and french people love him. He’ll take hindi cinema global which will benefit all actors. We should appreciate all actors and not bad mouth them when they are down. Never know when your favourite will be ripped apart by the media.All good bollywood actors are kings.
Rizwan,
I am amused to see you are supporting Akki.
I agree with you.Akshya Kumar is the greatest star actor of all time.
The fucking old man Amitabh is nothing compared to Akshya kumars star power.
Infact Akshya Kumar is the new shehenshah.Forget about the old Bacchan.He is no match to AK s charishma.
sawariya also released with OSO… althought sawariya was a flop, it earned 19 crore in first week for its hype, as it was a SLB film…. otherwise OSO could have earned 55+ crore in its first week…. SIK is far behind in quality of OSO… it wont cross even 30 crore … all it will earn for its hype… ppl will go for viewing katrina’s panty color…
SO WAT IS KATRINA PANTS COLOUR ASMAN RED OR BLUE
Yes AkshaY is the new king of BollYwood king, and not media made him like Shah Rukh khan
Hey Guys i will show the Diffrence Between Bollywood Badhshah and Aksay.and u have to accept it.
Shah Rukh Khan Has been Honored by the French Governament.Akshay haven’t yet.He has a Statue At London and Now in Paris.Have Akshay any Statue.He is the Most Famous Man on Earth (3.2 Billion People Know him )and Tom Cruise who is the King of Hollywood (2.7 Billion People Know Him).Akshay has no Popularity Like SRK.SRK Has Won All the Awards of Sab se Favourite Awards (5 Years) But Akshay no.SRK is Also Getting an Award From Malasyia Whiich is the Biggest awards of Malasyia.Does Akshay Have.SRK Has Much More Awards than The Akshay.Akshay is Older Actor than The SRK.He has given a Film named King so He is the King?no.SRK have done Comedy,villian,Serious,Romance,Fighting and Much more , he has Done Roles like THis.Does Akshay Have it.
The Awards Funtion Which have Been Held in year 2008, all Best Actor Awrads have been Won by KING KHAN and his Movies Also.Due to SRK The Bollywood is Famous in the World Even India is Known due to SRK.Bollywood has also gone to Germany (They Just Know and Like SRK not the Other Bollywood Actor)he is also the King of UK and USA,Germany,Paris etc.Are this Differnces are Clear or Sum other Misunderstanding u have about Akshay that he is King.Please now Tell the Truth.
SRK has two All time Blockbusters and Chak de India and OSO have also been called ALL TIme Blockbusters.Does Akshay have Any all time blockbuster.SRK have More Blockbusters Than Akshay.SO now tell that Who is the real King of bollwood
