Akshay Kumar Vs Ajay Devgn: Clash Of Superstars At The Box Office
On April 11, two highly anticipated Bollywood movies were released: Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Maidaan. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, while Maidaan features Ajay Devgn. This release date pits the two Bollywood superstars against each other for box office supremacy. However, this isn`t the first time the superstars have faced off against each other. Here are other instances where Akshay Kumar`s and Ajay Devgn`s films` releases clashed at the box office.
This rivalry started on July 24, 1998, when Devgn and Kajol’s movie Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha’s release clashed with Akshay Kumar’s Angaaray. In this tussle, the former came out victorious, as Angaaray didn’t get much acclaim at the box office.
In 2000, the two superstars clashed again when Dhadkan and Deewane were released on August 11. Contrary to the past, Akshay Kumar`s film Dhadkan received critical and public acclaim this time and became one of the most successful movies of 2000.
