Bollywood News / When will Ajay and Akshay do the work that Shraddha and Ranbir have done?

Bollywood News: In the year 2024, Bollywood entertained the audience with many films. Some of these films proved to be a big hit by performing brilliantly at the box office. Especially Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao's film "Stree 2" surprised the fans and made a great collection. Keeping in mind the success of the first part, some special changes were made in the script of the sequel of the film. These changes were well liked by the audience and the film gave a new height to Shraddha Kapoor's career by earning more than 500 crores at the box office.

Shraddha Kapoor's big success

This is the first time in 12 years of Shraddha Kapoor's career that any of her films crossed the 500 crore mark. "Stree 2" not only rocked the box office, but also garnered praise from critics. On the other hand, Sunny Deol also made a strong comeback in 2024 through Gadar 2. Sunny Deol became the oldest actor in Hindi cinema to earn more than 500 crores.

Challenges of Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn

Although big stars like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn brought several films in 2024, they failed to touch the magical figure of 500 crores. Akshay Kumar worked in 5 films in 2024, out of which he played the lead role in three. His acting in "Sarfira" was highly appreciated, but none of his films could do big at the box office. Ajay Devgn also appeared with films like "Maidaan," "Shaitan," and "Singham Again," but failed to cross the 500 crore mark.

Prospects of Akshay Kumar in 2025

Akshay Kumar is likely to be a part of 5 to 7 films in 2025. The major films among these are "Sky Force," "Shankara," "Jolly LLB 3," "Housefull 5," "Kanappa," "Welcome to the Jungle," and "Hera Pheri 3." Akshay's film "Sky Force" is going to be released on 24 January 2025, in which Sara Ali Khan will be seen with him. This film is slowly creating a buzz, but the possibility of crossing the 500 crore mark still seems far away.

"Jolly LLB 3" will be released in April 2025, which is part of a successful franchise. The first two parts of this film received a lot of love from the audience. In the third part, the pairing of Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar will be the main attraction for the fans. If the story of the film remains strong, it can perform well at the box office.

Apart from this, Akshay Kumar will be seen doing a cameo as Lord Shiva in South superstar Prabhas' film "Kanappa". Fans have high expectations from this film. If "Kanappa" proves to be a big hit, Akshay Kumar can also join the 500 crore club.

Ajay Devgan's bet in 2025

Ajay Devgan is going to try his luck at the box office through sequel films in 2025 as well. His potential films include "Azad," "Raid 2," "De De Pyar De 2," and "Son of Sardar 2."

The film "Azad" is a period drama, in which Ajay Devgan is playing an important role. There has been curiosity among the fans since the announcement of this film. At the same time, the first parts of films like "Raid 2" and "Son of Sardar 2" also received a good response from the audience. In such a situation, with the success of these films, Ajay Devgan can also get entry into the 500 crore club.

Influence of South films

South films have maintained a different dominance at the box office compared to Bollywood films. Earning 1000 crores has now become a common thing for South films, while earning 500 crores in Bollywood is also considered a big achievement. Shah Rukh Khan set the trend in 2023 with films like "Pathan" and "Jawaan" that it is possible for Hindi films to make big collections.

The future of Bollywood

The criteria for success in the film industry has changed now. Earlier, films earning 100-200 crores were considered big hits, but now this figure is crossed in the initial days itself. In 2025, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan will need to focus more on the content and marketing of their films so that they can reduce the influence of South films and enter the 500 crore club.

Finally, the huge success of Shraddha Kapoor and Sunny Deol has proved that the audience now prefers content and performance. If Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan are able to present something new in their upcoming films, then they can also become a part of this club in 2025.
