Akshay Kumar’s Koimoi Filmometer

Akshay Kumar is the ‘Boss’ of Bollywood and is well-known for delivering multiple successful films in quick succession. Though he started his career in 1991 with a flop, the actor established himself as a superstar in Indian cinema in the coming years. Even today, the actor is among the top money-spinners and has a strong success ratio at the Indian box office!

How do we calculate the success ratio?

Formula: (Super-Hits/Super-Duper Hit + Hit + Plus + Average)/Total Releases x 100 = Success ratio

Taking forward the hit franchise of Housefull, Sajid Khan wants to experiment this time with a new Jodi in his next film Housefull 3 and hence has apparently roped in actors Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan for the same.

The details of the rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalized.
