Akshay Kumar is an Indian naturalized Canadian actor, television presenter, and film producer who works in Hindi-language films. He first appeared in an unnoticed minor role in the 1987 Indian film '' Aaj''. He debuted in a leading role with the film '' Saugandh'' (1991) before his breakthrough with the suspense thriller '' Khiladi'' (1992), the first film of the ''Khiladi'' series.

Kumar earned his first Filmfare Awards nominations for the romantic films ''Yeh Dillagi'' (1994) and ''Dil To Pagal Hai'' (1997). However, several other of his 1990s releases performed poorly at the box office, leading to a brief setback in his film career.

The hit crime drama '' Jaanwar'' (1999) met with critical acclaim and marked his comeback. In 2000, Kumar worked in Priyadarshan's comedy '' Hera Pheri'' and the love triangle ''Dhadkan''. He played a negative role in '' Ajnabee'' (2001) to win the Filmfare Best Villain Award and appeared in ''Andaaz'' (2003), ''Aitraaz'' (2004), '' Khakee'' (2004) and '' Aan: Men at Work'' (2004), and '' Waqt'' (2005).

In 2004, he also presented the television series '' Seven Deadly Arts with Akshay Kumar''.
In 2007, Kumar ruled the box office with his all four comedy films ''Welcome'', ''Bhool Bhulaiyaa'', '' Heyy Babyy'' and ''Namastey London''. In 2008, he founded the Hari Om Entertainment production company, and hosted the first season of the reality game show '' Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi''. Next year he was honoured with the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award, for his services to the Indian film industry. Kumar hosted the first season of ''MasterChef India'' in 2010. In 2011 he founded another production company Grazing Goat Pictures, and produced the Indo-Canadian hockey-based film '' Breakaway'', which became the highest grossing cross-cultural film at the Canadian box office.

Kumar again conquered at the domestic box office in 2012 with financial hits like the masala film ''Rowdy Rathore'', the comedies ''Housefull 2'' and ''Khiladi 786'', and the satire ''OMG – Oh My God!'' with the former two being his first films to enter 100 Crore Club.
Shortly thereafter, Kumar established a great box office pull with multiple critically and commercially successful projects like heist film ''Special 26'' (2013), the action thrillers '' Holiday'' (2014) and '' Airlift'' (2016), the spy drama ''Baby'' (2015), the masala film '' Gabbar Is Back'' (2015), the comedies ''Singh Is Bliing'' (2015) and ''Housefull 3'' (2016), the crime thriller '' Rustom'' (2016), the dramas ''Jolly LLB 2'' (2017), '' Toilet: Ek Prem Katha'' (2017) and '' Padman'' (2018), the sports film ''Gold'' (2018) and the war film '' Kesari'' (2019); for ''Rustom'', he won National Film Award for Best Actor. He hosted '' Dare 2 Dance'' in 2014 and debuted in Tamil cinema with a negative role in India's most expensive film budgeted at 550 crore, the sci-fi extravaganza '' 2.0'' (2018) which is the fifth highest-grossing Indian film. In 2019 he made a big record by delivering three consecutive 200 Crore Club films with ''Mission Mangal'', ''Housefull 4'' and ''Good Newwz'' in additional to the 150 Crore Club grosser '' Kesari''. This was followed by his titular role as an ATS chief in Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe film ''Sooryavanshi'' (2021), the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2021.
