The Khiladi Kumar has come a long way with his B Grade movies which had only one purpose - dishoom dishoom. And yes...a bit of songs thrown in. Khiladi was a case in point- silly college caper, cute girl friends and a lot of suspense. The movie clicked becos of the whodunnit drama and not beacuse of any great acting from its leading stars.
Also Akshay Kumar was not considered as a actor by any stretch of imagination. But he was punctual, worked hard, focussed ona ction and kept slogging away. He was very much in teh same boat as Suneil Shetty perhaps, only along the way, Akshay improved his acting skills and one fine day Hera Pheri happened. Though the movie had some great contribution from Paresh Rawal, Suneil Shetty, Om Puri and a host of strong character actors, it was Akshay who used the good will of a great comedy hit and propelled himself forward strongly.
Today he can lay claim to a string of hits in the last few years - Dhadkan, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), Garam Masala, Phir Hera Pheri, Bhaagam Bhaag, Bhool Bulaiyaa, Heyy Babyy, Welcome and now Singg is Kingg. Th best thing is Akki has acted with the smaller directors and has very few in not any movies with the Yashraj, Karan Johar, Ram Gopal Varma, and Bhatt camps. That i feel is incredible.
