What fans want from Akshay Kumar

For fanatics, one year is a hell long wait for their favourite star's movie. For they have to satiate their tummies from leaked on-set photos, movie posters, teasers and songs. Or discuss old gems. And to get their daily dose of Revital, have fan wars on movie forums. All these things help fans in going about their life just fine. But Man, if you are an Akshay Kumar fan, life becomes so much easier. This man treats his fans with not one but four movies every year and what makes it even more interesting is the diversity of genres he has started attempting. This is what we fans expect from our beloved Superstar..

Uno - In diversity their is beauty and strength

Who knows diversity better than we Indians do and what beauty it holds. Not only we get to mix up with people of different cultures but we also have the highest number of public holidays than any other country in the world. From a spy/espionage thriller like Baby to full-fledged slapstick comedy Singh Is Bling, from a heist movie like Special 26 to family-sports drama Brothers, Akki paaji just keeps on being the flavor for all seasons. 

Dos - Never seen before avatar 



Just as Airlift saw you play a real life character, we hope to see more of your never seen before avatar in Rustom and the biggest Indian sci-fi film Robot 2. Especially Rustom presents you with an unique opportunity as Nanavati murder case is the most intriguing courtroom drama in the history of Indian judiciary system. Even though KM Nanavati murdered his wife's lover Prem Ahuja, whole India was behind Nanavati, a man of honour. Other women wanted to marry him thinking he will divorce his wife and had the crowd knew, they would lynch the sole jury member who was not in favour of pardoning Nanavati. From 1959 to 1962, this case captivated the whole nation and I hope in 2016 Akshay's performance  will do the same. 

Tres - Do a period/fantasy film

A bit hard to imagine but at the same time it will be quite exciting to see him mouth those period film dialogues. An actor's job is to adapt to any kind of character and the kind of versatility Akshay has, he can surprise one and all. But will anyone ever cast him in such a role? If Robot 2 can happen then maybe... 

Cuatro - Only one comedy per year

If not all, we love a fair share of Akshay Kumar comedies. Movies can be repetitive but his antics are still refreshing and together with Ritesh Deshmukh most of their scenes are knockout. I want to see Akshay and Ritesh bromance in other genres too, these two can set the house on fire. Stay away from directors like Sajid, Farah Khan, Prabhudeva and all, who keeps on remaking their own previous movies. We also hope you are not doing Awara Pagal Deewana 2 with some choreographer turned director Ahmed Khan. Priyadarshan comedies are enjoyable and a bit sensible too. 

Cinco - A horror movie
Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a psychological thriller, so there is a room for a true blue horror movie from Akshay Kumar. In the name of horror movies we only have regular Vikram Bhatt films, but something on the lines of The Shining would definitely give boost to horror genre in bollywood. Bipasha Basu did well but it would take a mainstream actor and an able director to bring this genre to a big audience.

Seis - What about a Road Trip !!

Self-realization through a road trip has been done many times, why not a dark thriller to make the concept enticing for a larger audience. On the run, a journey through India, using places and their traditions as some kind of element in the story will be a riveting stuff. Right now at the moment we are witnessing a lot of real life stories, which is good but at the same time we need writers who can come up with good fictional movies too. A lot of genres still remain unattempted in India, hope we have more path-breaking films like Bahubali in Indian cinema.
