In 2016, Akshay Kumar enjoyed a successful run at the box office when each and every film of his was a successful hit. Even in 2019, he was considered to be at his peak. The actor delivered four movies out of which two films hit a revenue of Rs 200 crore, the other four earned a revenue of Rs 150 crore.
