Akshay Kumar Gears For A Blockbuster Year of 2022 With Back-To-Back Movie Releases

Mumbai, September 26 - It has been a crazy day for the movie buffs, thanks to a slate of big release date announcements from the Bollywood film industry. After waiting for more than one and a half years, the rapid countrywide vaccination and theater reopening announcement in Maharashtra lures Bollywood filmmakers to announce the release dates of their pending movies.

On Sunday (September 26), there were as many as 16 release dates announcements of Hindi movies, and six of them are to release this year and the rest are set to hit big screens in 2022. Apart from today's five release date announcements, Akshay Kumar starrer "Sooryavanshi" will also be hitting theaters on Diwali this year, which was confirmed by director Rohit Shetty yesterday.



Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar will once again be in action throughout the year 2022. He is arguably the busiest actor in India and going with that reputation, he might have at least six movies releasing next year, including four confirmed releases.

The first film of Padman actor to release next year is Yash Raj Films' historical action-drama "Prithviraj". The Chandraprakash Dwivedi directed will be hitting theaters worldwide on January 21. It also stars Manushi Chhillar in her Bollywood debut along with Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana, Sakshi Tanwar, Manav Vij, and Lalit Tiwari in other important characters.

Sajid Nadiadwala's "Bachchan Pandey", which was originally announced for January 26, 2022, has been pushed to March 4 in theaters worldwide. It stars Akshay Kumar in the lead along with Kriti Sanon, and Jacqueline Fernandez as the female leads, and Arshad Warsi in a key role.



Raksha Bandhan, Akshay Kumar's second collaboration with Anand L Rai, will debut in theaters on August 11 during Independence Day week. Bhumi Pednekar plays the female lead opposite Akshay in this film. Then, Akshay's magnum opus "Ram Setu" will light up Diwali 2022. Apart from the confirmed movies, Akshay may also have Oh! My God 2, Cinderella, and Atrangi Re next year.

It is to be noted that Bollywood filmmakers had made a similar announcement earlier this year after theaters were reopened. However, the slow vaccination at that time and the second covid-19 wave failed their big plans. This time, however, things are a lot changed and they will be hoping that by the time 2022 starts rolling for them, a large number of the population get vaccinated and theaters are allowed with 100% occupancy.
