Akshay Kumar's Movie Bachchan Pandey Shows Steady Growth

Akshay Kumar's every movie has been a ray of hope for all the theatre's owners in the post-pandemic world with his movies like 'Bell Bottom', 'Sooryvanshi', which had earned big numbers and managed to bring the audience back to the theatres.
