Difference between Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar

Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar both had humble beginnings in Bollywood, but today both of them are world famous stars. Although Shahrukh Khan has made a name for himself in the international cinema, Akshay Kumar has only one international hit to his credit ‘Singh is King’.

Akshay Kumar has not tried his hand at film production as yet whereas Shahrukh Khan is a famous film producer with his production house ‘Red Chillies Entertainment’ with Farah Khan, and ‘Dreamz Unlimited’ with Juhi Chawla. Akshay Kumar has only been able to win two filmfare awards so far, one for his villainous role in ‘Ajnabee’ and second for his comic role in ‘Garam Masala’. Shah Rukh Khan has 13 Filmfare Awards to his credit. He started with his career as an action hero with the movie ‘Saugandh’. Shahrukh Khan on the other hand has always been a romantic favorite. His first movie ‘Deewana’ portrayed him as an intense romantic hero. He didn’t start his career with movies but with television serials like ‘Fauji’ in 1980’s.

Famous Names

hey akshay kumar is one million times better than srk. srk is king of jungle hi hi hi hi. i just hate srk. srk has very few fans in mauritius but akshay has the majority because mauritians are clever and we hindus we support only hindu actors. akshay is the best of the best and king of the king. all khans are only good for washing aksay kumar's feet. oso the worst movie and a flop in mauritius.

My Dear Hindu Brother, its not about religion, its about the art. So mind it.

Agree, its not about religion. If we are religious based, Shah Rukh Khan would not have been one of the top stars of Bollywood.

He came to fame working as a Hindu character in many Yash Raj films. He was very nice until he became famous. Now, he is very arrogant. One time he commented that he is a pathan and he knows how to defend. F***u Shah Rukh, you are living in India, behave like Indian. We don't give a damn about any actor being pathan, muslim, sikh or a hindu. I think downfall already started, look at Tom Cruise, everybody liked him until he started acting arrogant.

Amitab and Rajni Kanth are still SuperStars not just because of their acting but they are nice to fans, more than anything they never think they the greatest ever.

Excellent reply, click Kudos on the right side of the comment box if you agree with Raja Sen. For me, I gave a Kudo to you. Best answer...

stupid giri mat kar u f*** . srk is the best

mY dEAR sECULAR bROTHER. kIS aRT ki tum baat karte ho wahi na jise acting kehte hain to listen aKKI VS sRK aKKI is versatile actor comic, action ,romantic,dramatic,emotional in all he is fit but sRK sPL romantic,dramatic & hardly well in emotional janaab action me bakri ki tarah meinhh meinhh karte hain to comic roles me kisi side actor / newcomer se bhi kamjor perf. dete hain for eg .supperflop movies baadshah , billu barber samjhe mere secular bhai

The muslim watch only the khans film.

personality dekh aur thobda mila. bunder ko king bulata hai. aur usko koi king nai bola tha. wo amitabh ji ke sath cold war mein khud ko king bana liya aur media mein 10 tarah ka dealing de diya. gadha khali phekta hai. my name is khan ke liye uske nautanki dekha tha na??? akki kuch bhi kare, bakchodi to nai karta hai yaar.

Pathetic, you only support Hindi actors? God it's thick idiotic people like you that call yourself peace loving people yet are worst then terrorists. I suggest you go back to your pathetic life and stick your head back up your backside where it belongs. If you are a true representative of the Mauritians then i pity all Mauritians who need to get off their island and understand that a religion, or race is not a differentiator of a human being. Yet I guess based on your pathetic, limited capacity brain of yours you will be unable to understand a word of what I said.

Raja

yea akshay kumar is the best. SRK buabuaahhh. SRK is too arrogant......jt hate hm!!!

I totally agreed with you.

shahrukh is king......but Akshay is KING OF THE KING"S....................

WHAT A BULL-**** COMPARISON . IN THIS COMPARISON AKSHAY IS VERY UNDER-RATED & SRK IS OVER-RATED . AKSHAY KUMAR IS MORE KNOWN THAN SRK WORLDWIDE . HIS MOVIES ARE MORE HITS THAN SRK .AKSHAY IS NOT ONLY COMEDY KING BUT ALSO ACTION KING & KING OF THE BOLLYWOOD AND HE HAS PROVED IT . AKSHAY,S KHATRO KE KHILADI WAS MORE HIT THAN SRK,S PAANCHVI PAAS . HOW CAN U SAY THAT SRK HAS HOSTED MANY TV SHOWS & AKSHAY HAS JUST TWO . SRK HAS ALSO 2 SHOWS KBC2 & PAANCHVI PAAS . WHY R U TRYING TO UNDER-RATE AKSHAY KUMAR AT EVERY POINT & STATEMENT . AKSHAY HAS PROVED HIMSELF NO.1 IN ANY KIND OF ROLE . I WANT THE PERSON WHO HAS WRITTEN THIS ARTICLE TO AWNSER ME , AWNSER ME ., WHY DO U UNDER-RATED AKSHAY KUMAR THAT MUCH ?? I WANT THE AWNSER THAT Y DID U DONE THE COMPARISON IN SO UNFAIR WHY ?? AKSHAY KUMAR IS THE REAL KING OF BOLLYWOOD . PLZ PLZ TELL ME Y DID U UNDER-RATED AKSHAY KUMAR ,WHY ?????????????????

I am fan of both. I don't think there is anything wrong with the comparison. The writer wrote the facts which are all over the web. Why do you think they call him King Khan? Admins, please remove above comment. Vnay shah is really a crying baby.

O mere gujrati bhai. u dont know anything. u just lick the A*S of SRK. Hindu actors are the best ones for India.

Get a life you daft pathetic idiot. Go see the world and realise that there is more to world than your limiting beliefs

dekhiye Bhai sab Akshay kumar is Selfmade Man. Akki ne kabhi bhi kisi ek camp me rah kar koi folm nahi ki whereas srk ne yashraj and karan johar ki films ke alava aur kitni flme ki he? Bina kisi sahare ke itne aage tak pahuchna koi Choti Baat nahi he Agar srk ko yashraj and kjo ki filmes na mile to vo kitne din tak Film industry me Tik paayega.Think About it.

Bilkul theek. ab to karan johar ne bhikisi aur actors ko leke films banana shuru kar diya hai and Yash Raj Films also take other actors in their movies. Even Farah Khan bhi aur actors ko hi films mein le rahe hain.

U F***ERS S.R.K IS MUCH BETTER THAN BLOODY AKSHAY... AB COMPARISON DEKH KAR BHI HOSH NAHI AAYA??? DONO MEIN ZAMEEN AASMAAN KA FARQ HAI AND SRK IS AASMAN

Shan beta halka ho ja..srk ka zamana gaya ab akki ka zamana hay..akki hi king hy mere muna..or srk mere dogi ka name hy,samja

saaale kuttey tujhe kya pata musla kahi ka. sala srk ka pichhlaggu. Jaa G**nd mara usse

Oye Shaan .. SRK ke Tatte... Akki Rockxx..Woh to waise bh igay hai.. jaa ke maar le uski..

vnay shah is somewhat correct.shahrukh khan is way too overrated.till date only three actors can do all comedy,action,serious as well as lover boy type of roles,they are-amitabh,salman bhai and akki.in the above comparision i think akki wins the race.shahrukh rocks too but he is not a complete package like the three actors i have mentioned above.

sahi baat hai. aise lagta hai ke comparison kisi aur ne nahi, khud srk ki najaayez aulaad ne kiya ho. lol.

srk is called a king coz he is the king of bollywood. in america wen srk presented at the golden global awards he was introduced as the king of bollywood. akshay would neva get such a big honour.

Just saw "My Name is Khan". Worst movie ever... Shahrukh Khan's acting is pathetic, worst direction. Kajol is the only saving grace, she made a big mistake accepting this role.

Agree with all the comments above, Shahrukh Khan is the worst actor.

srk rules so shut it. his acting was highly praised by critics for my name is khan which was an overseas hit so shut it. ur definitely not, a critic, oh no, ur just a stupid **** who cant recognise true talent. hahah dumb ****. would you like it if i called u a talentless prick. no u wouldnt so f**** off

Every Indian should go for Hindu Actors. These Muslims are not worth this much respect and money. Bloody 7-10 crore for a 3 day ad shoot. seems like a joke but its true. They dont do anything for normal people of india. they get rich, buy mansions abroad, villas in Dubai, UK, near the houses of tom cruise and all big faces of hollywood. never do anything for poor people under the poverty line in India. SRK is just a Gaddaar. Go for Abhishek, Amitabh, Hritik, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Dekhmukh and many more. f**k these khans.

How about you go get yourself an education?

Abe kuhe mendak.. just think as an human.. just come out of ur religioustic mind

Akshay is versatile and Shahrukh khan not. So obviously Akshay is King of kings.

Akshay is self made man without any Godfather or Yahraj and Karan Johar. Akshay made lot of struggle and Shahrukh got stardum very fast with big banners. So obviously Akshay is King of Kings.

do research. srk started acting with tv roles. n its not easy to for a tv actor to get into movies. both akshay and srk have had their struggles. you really have to do your research

I thing history is repeating itself.

Amitabh Bachchan has do lot of struggle. In his time other superstars were not versatile actors only Amitabh was versatile and is versatile today. And Amitabh Bachchan wins the race. Amitabh defeats Rajesh Khanna who know only romance. Today Rajesh Khanna is Shahrukh Khan because he is also a romantic hero and Amitabh Bachchan is Akshay Kumar as they both are Versatile actors. So history is fully repeating itself.

Akshay kumar is the king of kings.He has proved himself in every genre.He is the real king of action and comedy and shahrukh is nothing without yash raj and karan johar,he is bind to his ghise pitey romantic roles in which also he looks old now,people want to see ranbir kapoor or emran khan in such roles..so no place for shahrukh in todays bollywood..Shahrukh pls pls retire now..and everyone plz stop comparing akki with srk because akki has much more fan following than srk.Akki is more famous in different aged people spl 'kids' and 'youngsters'.. AKSHAY KUMAR ROCKSSSSSSSSSSS............!

another idiot over-rating akshay. do some research on all of srk's sucesses, they fail in comparison to akshay's sucesses.

  • Guest

His successes are seen in his romantic flicks only. See Akshay massive success in action and comedy. Granted they aren't blockbusters, but still great films.

I recently saw khatta meetha features Akshay kumar...and he is just brilliant in this movie kya acting karta hai yaar, he is my most fav, whether its action , comedy, romance, or flirt...akshay won the race, SRK is just a money chaser...sala lux ki bhi ad nahi jaane deta,....akshay ki acting international khiladi mein dekho...srk aisi acting kar hi nahi sakta...
