From Pad Man to Desi Boyz here are 7 of his finest performances that you should definitely watch.
From tickling our funny bones with his slapstick comedy to igniting a sense of patriotism among us, Akshay has done it all. Rajiv Bhatia a.k.a. Akshay Kumar’s movie trajectory has only been an upward curve, one amazing performance after another. Adept in martial arts and a dedicated family man, it is rare to come across an actor who is so true to his personal and professional life.
Akshay has become the flagbearer of highlighting the various issues that thrive in our society. Putting the medium of cinema to effective use, the actor engages and educates the audience with his movies.
Let’s take a look at the versatile actor’s seven films.

1.Toilet: Ek Prem Katha– Revolving around the need for toilets and sanitation, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, is a mouthpiece for the Swachh Bharat campaign. Akshay’s Keshav revolting against the traditionalist ideology of his father and going lengths to procure toilets for his house and spreading the same message in the village is a win.

2.Pad Man- An inspiring story that breaks the silence on menstruation, Padman starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte highlight the importance of menstrual hygiene. A quid pro quo is struck in the film: Gayatri’s (Apte) malpuas for Lakshmikant Chauhan’s (Akshay) promise of sanitary pads. Kumar won the National award for the best social film.
