Akshay Kumar has sparked concern among his fans after a video of him promoting an air conditioner at an unknown location went viral on social media, while his upcoming film Haiwaan, set for release on September 11, 2026, remains poorly promoted.
Fans said the actor should focus on his films instead of such events. Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan, is Akshay's third announced project after Bhooth Bangla and Welcome to the Jungle. The teaser disappointed audiences and trade experts say it fails to generate excitement.
Netizens believe Akshay is not taking feedback seriously after a string of flops. Buzz for Haiwaan is low, and fans are asking him to work on better promotion strategies with the makers.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Akshay Kumar has had seven flops in his last ten releases, according to box-office trackers. Haiwaan is a remake of the 2014 Malayalam film of the same name, which itself was a moderate success. Remakes of recent hits have often failed in Bollywood, as seen with the 2024 Shehzada. The film's budget is estimated at Rs 150 crore, and with low advance bookings reported two weeks before release, the recovery looks uncertain. The next signal to watch is the first-day collection on September 11.
