Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi Box Office Ranked. (Photo Credit – Youtube)

One might not have noticed, but Akshay Kumar owns the biggest franchise in Hindi Cinema. The Khiladi franchise has as many as 8 films. Interestingly, except for two, all of them have done exceedingly well, earning a hit tag for themselves. All of these 8 films are standalone films.

Akshay starred in the first Khiladi film in 1992, which was his first successful action film. In fact, the name Khiladi Kumar was coined for the actor since he never looked back after the first film’s success.

All the Khiladi films belong to the action genre, and Akshay Kumar was the first action superstar of the 90s. The only film in the Khiladi franchise that was not action-dominated was Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi, which belonged to the comedy genre.

You might have seen actresses playing nuns in films but it's very rare that an actress becomes a nun in real life. That's exactly what Barkha Madan (Bhoot, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi) has done. In this interview, she talks about her final film as an actress - Surkhaab (which releases today) and her pursuit of happiness.

Is it true that Surkhaab was ready since a long time and took a long time to release?

It's a misconception. We completed the production of the film in 2012 end. We wanted to send the film first to the film festivals. The film festivals are spread throughout the year and most of them don't want you to have a commercial release before that. It won many awards at film festivals acorss the world. That's why we didn't aim for any commercial release. Last year the film was released theatrically last year in Us and Canada...

Actor Inder Kumar who was arrested for allegedly raping a struggling actress has been granted bail today by the sessions court but only on the bond of Rs. 30,000.

Inder Kumar was charged under sections 376 (rape), 324 (causing grievous) and 506 (criminal intimidation). The victim (the struggling model) had accused actor Inder Kumar of raping her thrice under the pretext of granting her meaty roles in films. She also alleged the actor of being violent as she claimed that she had been thrashed by a beer bottle. However, during the trial, Inder Kumar who has a troubled relationship with his wife, had stated that they had consensual sex.

Inder Kumar has acted in some popular films like Wanted, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Kahi Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye, Ghunghat, Masoom among others.

Inder Kumar recently was charged under the offence of rape and abusing a 22 year old aspiring actress and now, the court has ordered to keep the actor under judicial custody until May 13.

Known for his roles in popular movies like Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi and Wanted, Inder Kumar was alleged of sexually assaulting the girl after making fake promises of giving her a chance in meaty Bollywood projects. The wounded young actress was later admitted to a suburban hospital in Mumbai and an Fir was filed against the actor at Versova Police Station under sections 376 (Punishment for Rape), 324 (causing grievous hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 506 (2) (criminal intimidation).

However, Inder rubbishes these claims and maintains that the sexual act was consensual. Right before these accusations, the police stated that the actor's wife Pallavi had reportedly been to the Versova Police Station to press assault charges against Inder after a heated argument between the two.

Inder Kumar, who was seen in films like Masoom, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Wantedand many more, has been accused of raping by a 22 year old girl. An Fir for the same has been lodged at the Versova police station following which the actor has been asked to appear at the station. The victim is said to be an aspiring model and this is supposedly being considered as a case of casting couch. Apparently, Inder made contact with the girl under the false pretense of providing film opportunities and continued abusing her. Currently, the girl has been taken for medical tests and the results are awaited.

Those who are well versed with Bollywood history will be aware of the fact that post the Amitabh Bachchan era (due to the mega star's self-exile); the biggest claimant to the throne was none other than our 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar with his authentic and genuine action.Starting with Khiladi (1992) to Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996), Akshay ruled the roost, along with some films from Ajay Devgn and Sunil Shetty.However, with Nri romance setting in, it was the turn of the Khans to...

Although Akshay Kumar’s Joker has not opened to great box office collections, he needed worry too much if Himesh Reshammiya’s comments are anything to go by. According to the super-hit music director and singer, “Akshay is extraordinary in the title role of Khiladi”. And why shouldn’t he be? With a record of previous box office successes using the ‘Khiladi’ title (Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi) and Himesh currently rocking the charts again (Bodyguard, Bol Bachchan), there is no doubt that this will be one knock out combination.

If you didn’t know already Himesh is not only producing Khiladi 786, but has also written the story, composed the music and will be acting alongside Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. A confident Himesh shared “The story is nice and fascinating…the music will be very good and audience will love it!” Further, the film is being...

New Delhi, March 27: Akshay Kumar took a well-thought break from kicking and boxing in films, but now is back to the action genre with "Rowdy Rathore". The 'Khiladi' of Bollywood says he is absolutely geared for the new innings.

"It's been some two to three years that I have stayed away from action movies. It's because when my son (Aarav) was two years old, I was scared that what if something happened to me...that's why I was off action," Akshay said here Monday night.

The 44-year-old established himself as the 'khiladi' of Bollywood thanks to a slew of daredevil stunts in action films like "Khiladi", "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi",.
