	===Between 2022 and 2024 ===		===Between 2022 and 2024 ===
	Several high-budget films underperformed during one of Akshay Kumar's most difficult periods in his career. The year was one of his weakest because Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Rakshabandhan, and Ram Setu (all 2022) did not make an impression despite a lot of hype. Selfiee's bad run continued in 2023, but OMG 2 gave him a brief reprieve with favorable reviews and financial success. But Mission Raniganj, his mining-disaster drama, was a commercial failure. Despite large budgets and well-known casts, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira, and Khel Khel Mein all underperformed in 2024, continuing the downward trend. His only real respite was Singham Again (2024), where his Sooryavanshi reprise became a box office success and one of the highest-grossing movies of the year, somewhat ending his slump.
