A motley of Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, John Abraham and Ajay Devgn among many others have taken to social media to wish National Award-winning actor Akshay Kumar, who on Monday turned 52-years-old. Akshay, who found the fourth position on the Forbes magazine's Worlds Highest-Paid Actors Of 2019 list, made his acting debut with a small role in the 1987 filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt' Aaj. He then appeared as the lead actor in Saugandh and rose to fame with the suspense thriller Khiladi, which tagged him as Bollywood's very own "Khiladi".
After the suspense thriller film, Akshay became an undisputed action star in Hindi films with projects like Sabse Bada Khiladi, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, International Khiladi, Waqt Hamara Hai and Mohra. He even tried his hands in comedy with Hera Pheri. It was followed by a string of comic capers such as Phir Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhaag, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and Housefull. He did films as different as chalk and cheese such as Rowdy Rathore, Housefull 3, OMG - Oh My God!, Special 26, Jolly LLB 2, Holiday, Baby, Airlift and Rustom, which won him his first National Award. And also starred in films with a social message with films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Pad Man.
On Monday, Akshay, who won the National Award for Best Actor in 2016, announced that he will be playing Prithviraj Chauhan on screen. "Elated to share about my 1st historical film on my birthday! Humbled to have the opportunity to play a hero I look up to for his valour and values- Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan in one of my biggest films #Prithviraj," he tweeted. The actor also has Housefull 4, Good News, Sooryavanshi, Laxmmi Bomb and Bachchan Pandey in his kitty.
Now, as the actor turned a year older, all his friends from the industry wished him a very happy birthday.
