John Abraham And Akshay Kumar's Box Office Showdowns: Who Leads?

Independence Day has become synonymous with Akshay Kumar, as his latest film 'Khel Khel Mein' marks his 10th release on this national holiday. This year, Akshay faced off against John Abraham and the Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao starrer 'Stree 2' in a major box office clash involving 'Vedaa Vs Khel Khel Mein'. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Akshay has competed with his 'Desi Boyz' co-star.

The 'Vedaa Vs Khel Khel Mein' clash is the third instance of Akshay Kumar competing against John Abraham at the box office. Let's delve into their previous encounters and how their films performed.

1) Satyameva Jayate Vs Gold (2018)

In 2018, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham faced off for the first time with their films 'Satyameva Jayate' and 'Gold'. Both movies were successful, but Akshay's 'Gold' outperformed John's film. 'Gold' grossed around Rs 158 crore, while 'Satyameva Jayate' earned approximately Rs 108.32 crore.

2) Batla House Vs Mission Mangal (2019)

The following year saw another clash between the two stars. In 2019, John's 'Batla House', featuring Mrunal Thakur, went head-to-head with Akshay's multi-starrer 'Mission Mangal'. Both films did well at the box office, but 'Mission Mangal' collected around Rs 290 crore, more than double what 'Batla House' earned at Rs 113 crore.

3) Vedaa Vs Khel Khel Mein (2024)

The most recent clash occurred on Independence Day 2024. Amidst competition from 'Stree 2', both 'Vedaa' and 'Khel Khel Mein' generated considerable buzz.
