Some of Akshay Kumar's recent films, such as Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Mission Raniganj, haven't done well in India.
Actor Akshay Kumar is hoping that his upcoming film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will bring an end to his dry spell at the box office. As reported by news agency PTI, Akshay said he soldiered on despite giving 16 flops in a row at one point in time and he will continue to do so.

Akshay talks about his flop films
“Whether it was Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Airlift, Rustom or many other films that I have done... Sometimes there is success, sometimes it's not. It is not that I have not seen (this phase before). There was a time when I had 16 consecutive flops. But I stood there and kept on doing work,” he said,
"I'll still do that. This (Bade Miyan Chote Miyan) is one film for which we all have done a lot of hard work. Now, we are going to see the results. Keeping our fingers crossed, we hope that this is going to bring good luck to all of us," the actor added.
