The pairing of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif is well-regarded by audiences, with the stars having collaborated on more than half a dozen films together. These films have generally been well-received. However, one film featuring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, ‘De Dana Dan,’ failed to even recoup its production budget, experiencing poor performance at the box office. The presence of Sunil Shetty and other actors couldn’t save the film from becoming a flop.
Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif have previously starred in successful films like ‘Sooryavanshi,’ ‘Welcome,’ ‘Namastey London,’ ‘Singh Is Kinng,’ and ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye.’ However, ‘De Dana Dan’ did not perform well at the box office. Released 16 years ago, on November 27, 2009, the film featured Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, and Sunil Shetty in lead roles, with supporting roles played by a ensemble cast.
The film, a action comedy, was directed by Priyadarshan. Despite a substantial budget of 60 crore rupees, the film failed to impress audiences. Its domestic collection in India was only 48 crore rupees, making it a super flop. Akshay Kumar is currently working on several upcoming projects. This year, three of his films have already been released. He will next be seen in ‘Jolly LLB 3’ alongside Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, scheduled for release on September 19th. Additionally, Akshay Kumar has begun filming for ‘Hera Pheri 3’, which is also directed by Priyadarshan.
