Will RRR Affect Akshay Kumar's Bachchan Pandey?

Mumbai, March 5 - Akshay Kumar-fronted "Bachchhan Paandey" is all set to hit the big screens on 18th March. It will be the first Bollywood movie of a major male star to hit the big screens this year.

Akshay Kumar, who is in the peak phase of his career has delivered a lot of promising movies since 2016. Just before the pandemic hit Akshay Kumar was on a streak of back-to-back hits. He delivered 4 hits in 2019, which include Kesari, Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, and Good Newwz.



Now as the pandemic seems to be fading and the cinemas are back to 100% occupancy trade analysts, and distributors are keeping a close eye on how Bachchan Pandey will perform at the box office.

Last year Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom was released on the big screens but was not able to have a successful run and was a box office debacle, major reasons being the Maharashtra lockdown and night restrictions in many places.

But he made a solid comeback in the latter half of the year with Rohit Shetty's directorial Sooryavanshi which emerged as the only Bollywood movie to get a clean hit verdict post the pandemic.



Now again Akshay Kumar is hoping to carry the momentum forward with Bachchan Pandey hitting theatre this month. In this movie, he will be seen in the role of a gangster. It will be a matter of deep curiosity to see how this movie will perform as the monstrous Pan Indian giant RRR is going to release just 7 days after the release of Bachchan Pandey.

Akshay Kumar's last Holi release movie Kesari was a hit back in 2019. Expectations from Bachchan Paandey are also the same. It being an action movie solidly ensures it will do great business in mass belts because the trailer got an awesome response and the music album is already a hit.
