The few times he went outside that, the movies he chose were absolute disasters (No Problem, Mere Baap Pehle Aap).
Not only that, but he's a straight-forward, sweet banda. No steamy affairs, no skeletons in the closet, no mystery, etc. He doesn't have that star pull that say Salman Khan, SRK, Ranveer Singh, etc. have. When you think Akshaye Khanna, the first thought that crosses your mind is: good actor I'll watch his film because he does good work. When you think Salman Khan, the first thought is probably Dabangg, shirtless, abs, etc. SRK is romance, Rahul, etc. Ranveer Singh you think crazy, hot, good actor, etc. And that's the difference. Akshaye Khanna is immediately associated with his work on the screen, but the other actors have a mixture.
I don't know. It's hard to explain, but I hope it makes sense. I just feel like Akshaye Khanna has never gotten his due, but then he also didn't have that star power factor that other actors have.
