In the 1990s things were very different. There were not too many actors and you could make hits out of less than mediocre movies because we didn’t have too many options. Especially for the majority of the Indian population that didn’t watch western movies.
By the time Akshay Kumar into 2000s he had already been around for a very long time. Plus he is one of those actors who embrace changes and he has done variety of movies by then. He did a lot of movies every year so was never out of audience’s mind, apart from being very hard working. So he thrived.
Things have changed drastically now with so many online platforms, people watch not only Hollywood but world movies. With the advent of media and accessibility of internet etc, if a movies is a disaster people know it sooner and they won’t watch it. People are now preferring content oriented stuff, which is refreshing.
