After a mixed run at the box office, Akshay Kumar is back in form — and this time, he’s not slowing down. With hits like ‘Skyforce’ and ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ already winning over audiences in 2025, the Khiladi of Bollywood is charging ahead with six big-budget films lined up — and the next year could mark his grand comeback to box office supremacy.

Set to release on April 2, 2026, this marks the reunion of the iconic Akshay-Priyadarshan duo — last seen in cult comedies like Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Garam Masala.
2. Welcome to the Jungle – High Voltage Comedy Returns (June 2025)Next up, Akshay will resume shooting for the madcap comedy ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ in June 2025.
