Akshay Kumar is one of the most prolific actors in the industry today. On an average, the superstar has around 3 – 4 releases every year and 2014 will be no different.
The gap between his last release Boss and his upcoming film Holiday will be 7 months and 20 days, which is the longest period between two Akshay Kumar films since Andaaz and Khakee in 2003-04!
While other superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan concentrate only one film at a time, the promotion of two Akshay movies sometimes happen to coincidence – the marketing campaign of Boss began before the release of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara last year. The same could happen this year too, since Its Entertainment is scheduled to release two months after Holiday.
Check out the full list of Akshay Kumar’s upcoming movies in 2014 – 2015.
Holiday (6th June 2014): The director of Ghajini, A.R. Murugadoss returns to direct his second film in Hindi titled Holiday: A soldier is never off duty. The film is based on sleeper cells, a topic that not many know a lot about. A sleeper cell or a sleeper agent is a trained spy / terrorist, who is placed in a country by a extremist group or organisation. Their role is to continue leading a normal life until they are called to undertake a mission – somewhat similar to Irfan Khan’s role in D-Day. Holiday stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. The film, remake of Tamil blockbuster Thuppakki, releases on the same day as ‘Action Jackson’ on 6th June 2014 i.e the weekend after IPL 7.
Its Entertainment (8th August 2014): Successful writer duo of Sajid – Farhad turn directors with a TIPS’ film titled Its Entertainment. Akshay is cast opposite ‘Himmatwala’ star Tamannaah Bhatia. The film has a strong supporting cast comprising of actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood, Johnny Lever and Krishna Abhishek. Its Entertainment releases a week after Salman Khan’s KICK on 8th August 2014.
Gabbar (release date not announced): Telugu filmmaker Radhakrishna Jagarlamudi (also known as Krish) directs the remake of A.R. Murugadoss’ 2002 film Ramana, which was later remade as Tagore starring Chiranjeevi and also in Kannada as Vishnu Sena starring late actor Vishnuvardhan. The action-drama also stars Shruthi Hassan, Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood and Sunil Grover (popularly known as Gutti) in important roles. The film is produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who last produced one of Akshay’s most successful films Rowdy Rathore. Gabbar could release late this year or early 2015.
Shaukeen remake: Akshay will also be seen in Rumi Jaffrey’s remake of Basu Chatterjee’s 1980 comedy film Shaukeen. The actor will be playing a supporting role, which was enacted by Mithun Chakraborty in the original film. Nargis Fakhri plays the female lead.
There are rumours that Dharma Productions’ is in talks with Akshay to play the lead in Shuddhi and also a film with Punit Malhotra (not Gutka, it has been shelved). Akshay could also feature in the remake of Ajith’s 2013 hit Arrambam.

I dont know why people say Akshay had bad year in 2013,may be considering the caliber of akshay
He had 1 hit special 26 and who expected outimd to be 100cr with 1300screens?
Gabbar will be his best film this year and HOLIDAY will be his highest grosser
@indicine please add jai hind.Akshay with neeraj pandey after sp26 in an action thriller like bond with patriotism and it releases on republic day next year
As Akshay tweeted before the shoot of its entertainment,he said he has done comedy,romance,thrillers,action,social dramas and now he is doing a movie which delivers entertainment and only entertainment and will have hit music
@babaji you are a genius in prediction.When boss trailer came u said it wont work since sonakshi is not paired opposite akshay and also the trailer was average and u also said jai ho wont be a blockbuster.Finally,you said highway will do 30cr max
I will like to know your prediction for holiday when released solo THANX
Akshay is in a supporting role in Shaukeen remake like OMG
And wikipedia is saying that GABBAR will release on CHRISTMAS but i wish it comes on DIWALI
I watched holiday’s trailer. It was nice.but villian cud have been more powerful.also,akki should work a little more on intense dialogue delivery.
I’m too much nervous about it’s entertainment. It’s releasing after two weeks of kick and before 1 week of singham 2.
Akshay says he will not do a masala movie with OTT actions again so all akkians are prayers have come true
Akshay will be seen in the remake of Arrambam which is a stylish action film.Arrambam has a imdb rating of 7.8
And Gabbar is the best Chiranjeevi movie and when i saw the pics of Akshay in the politician avatar,I know it will be among the best film this year
holiday, gabbar, its entertainment to pakka hair par mujhe nhi lagta akshay ne shaukeen nam ki koi movie abhi tak sign ki hai
Please Akkians i suggest we try our best to convince TIPS and Akshay to change the release date of its entertainment.11 days after KICK and 1week to Singham2.The release date is not good
Akki has a good line up of films among all the 4 i am excited for Holiday and Gabbar because the trailer of Holiday is good and his look in Gabbar is looking very good . I am not so much excited for It’s Entertainment because it is produced by Tips and Shaukeen is also awaited because it is a remake and has strong supporting cast . I personally think such movies should be remade because majority of the people have not watched the original . I think Akki should stop doing 3 – 4 movies in a year becaue sometimes it works like in 2007 and 2012 and sometimes it does not work like 2009 and 2011 . I hope Holiday becomes successful and 2014 proves to be a good year for Akki and i don’t think Gabbar can release in Christmas 2014 . He was unfortunate with Boss because it released after OUATIMD and people were disappointed with it so Boss flopped because according to me Boss was a entertaining movie and was a lot better than the other masala movies . Anyways Best of Luck Akki .
Holiday and Gabbar will be huge….no one can stop both these films to be a blockbuster..
I am not so sure about Its Entertainment….
Why the same Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood as villain everytime..can’t they get any other actors!!!
Bored of them now….
This is such a Shame :| What is this dude even doing ? Is he a Actor ? Remaking south Movies all the Time ? I can understnd 1 movie 2 or 3. This guy is making 4-6 upcomin movies all Remakes? WThell is he thinking ? is this Just a Money earning for him … ? Its a shame An Actor Needs to make new Films Not make movie wch r alrdy made. Evn Salman does only few Remakes But this is Just outrageous . No wonder He Still Didnt Get the “SUPER START” Tag. FYI Money wont Stay with you forevr your legacy Does. N Mr.AK your legacy is at -0.000 ! Aftr Cin ur upcomin Films.!
Akki will never stop giving flops, the world will stop rotating one day but Akki will always continue giving 60 crore movies (if movie is good or decent) else 30 crore movies (if movie is like Joker).
King of 30-60 crore club
South remakes and their IMDB ratings
Pokiri(2006)-7.8 (Remade as Wanted)
Vikrmarkudu((2006)-7.5 (Remade as Rowdy Rathore)
Ramana(2002)-7.8 (Remaking as Gabbar)
Pokkiri Raja(2010)-4.1 (Remade as Boss)
Thuppakki(2012)-7.8 (remade as Holiday)
Stalin(2006)-5.5 (Remade as Jai Ho)
Bodyguard(2010)-6.3 (Remade as Bodyguard)
Kick(7.7)-(Remaking as Kick)
Atleast while selecting a south film to remake it,it should have good content,otherwise due to overdose of masala films,it will surely be rejected like Policegiri,Boss etc.
Waiting for gabbar and it’s entertainment
Craps are continuing…
And for Vijay fans Thuppakki was originally written for Akshay kumar but because of date problems,it was made in south first.So thank akshay for what he has done for vijay and vijay will be seen in a guest appearance
@nipun the dialogue delivery will be nice in the movie itself same happened with rowdy rathore trailer.So dont worry about that
@greekgod I pray that bangbang will be a huge hit and dont worry about Akshay,he is giving flops and doing remakes.He is not a superstar,Hithrik is the ultimate superstar.All the best to Hithrik
WHY DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT AKSHAY WHEN HE CANT CROSS 60CR WHILE OTHER ACTORS ARE CROSSING 200CR?
Akkians are so funny. He is nothing now. Better to retire as noone cares about him and his movies. From now each and every film of his will be a flop.
He has zero stardom.
@Aeeyy for akshay to hav a highest grosser he needs the PEOPLES support, and unless the movie is like 3 idiots I can’t any of his movie being highest grosser…
And tbh I don’t think he cares because he goes one from movie to another, as a fan I want him to act with aamir or shahrukh, hrithik
@rasull Akshay doesnt need people support to give highest grosser.Akshay made a mark on his own.If not bcos of eid releases,sequels and guest appearances by all actors,akshay would have highest grosser in 2007 and 2012
@rasull akshay should work with shahrukh after outimd-ce issues? I think u should wash your face with water and dont say u are an akkian
@ayee:i’m not sure. But that greekgod id mightn’t be a hrithikian .as i observe,above 80% of hrithikfans like and support akki.
Kick will be released on 27th July 14. It has . If Kick is accepted by the audience, it will affect the business of Its Entertainment being released on 8th August 2014. Even when Kick is rejected, it still has an 11-day gap until the release of Its Entertainment. Worse for Its Entertainment, it is being released one week before the release of Singham 2. And you know Rohit Shetty knows the pulse of audience. It’s simply sandwiched between two biggies. Rather it’s merely after two months of the release of Holiday. Not a good date for its release.
All the best to Akki no matter what….
I think akki fans are very less in numbers.. So only a single guy is commenting here.. By the way i think holiday will be huge, but not sure about ie. Waiting for gabbar trailor and if its good then its going to be huge year for akki.. My best wishes to him.
@Aeeyy I know Bangbang will Be Blockbuster. Im just sayin make few movies which will be remebrd for 100 years. Aamir N Hrithik make 1movie in 2-3 years But Each of there Films will be rembrd. Makin Masala Films al the time , Remakin South movies Shows that the Real Superstar are South Indian Actors N makers. Beein a big actor in Bollywood its his responsibility to take Bollywood forward. His N Ajay are A big Waste in Bollywood as of Now. Evn the NEw lot r makin bigger n bettr films.
@aeeyy it’s bollywood, as i m srk fan i also respect others and akki but you know this time akki decided his film to release after a week of kick and before a week of singham 2 is this n’t a same situation like ce-ouatimd?what do u say frnd?plz reply me,thank u.
