Akshay Kumar's Upcoming franchise movies:

The last hit movie featuring Akshay Kumar was a franchise film, OMG 2 (2023), in which he played the second lead role. Besides that, all his films after Sooryavanshi (2021) have flopped badly at the box office. Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Selfiee, Mission Raniganj, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira, and Khel Khel Mein — all were flops.

Akshay Kumar's last release, Sky Force, is currently running in cinemas and is likely to receive an "Average" verdict, which means it's not a flop. Following this, he has many films lined up, but there are four franchise films that could turn into hits and bring Khiladi back into the game.

Jolly LLB 3

The first is Jolly LLB 3 with Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, which was scheduled to be released in Summer 2025, but has now been postponed. After that, he will have Housefull 5 in June, which is a multi-starrer comedy and is likely to be a hit. There might be some shuffling in the release dates, but both will release this year only; it’s just a matter of gap.

Welcome 3

Welcome 3, another multi-starrer with a huge cast, was supposed to release at the end of 2025, but it seems that the film will be shifted to next year. It’s not official yet, but sources believe it might get too crowded in December 2025. This one also has the potential to become a hit at the very least, due to its franchise value.

Then comes the biggest and most awaited Hera Pheri 3. The recent announcement of Priyadarshan joining the film as director has left fans and moviegoers excited for this one. The film is super hot in the market and carries a strong legacy. At the very least, we expect it to be a blockbuster unless something goes terribly wrong. With the trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal reuniting after many years in this franchise, Hera Pheri 3 is set to become one of the biggest films of 2026. Akshay Kumar could finally have a huge blockbuster to his name with this. Now, let’s wait and see what happens with these movies.
