This actor replaced Ajay Devgn, starred opposite Karisma Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, gave blockbuster, then stopped working with..., he is...
Sometimes, in the world of movies, unexpected changes can lead to big breaks. There was a film in the late 90s that became a major hit and changed an actor's career forever. This actor stepped into a role that was originally meant for another famous star but ended up making the film a blockbuster. After this success, the actor suddenly stopped working with the film's director for nearly two decades, surprising many fans and industry insiders. Who is this superstar? The actor was Akshay Kumar, and the movie was Jaanwar. Initially, the lead role in Jaanwar was supposed to be played by Ajay Devgn, but due to some scheduling conflicts, Ajay couldn't take the part. This opened the door for Akshay Kumar to step in. At that time, Akshay was still on his way to stardom and this opportunity helped him gain a lot of recognition. Alongside Akshay, the film featured popular actresses Karisma Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty, whose performances also contributed to the movie's success. What was the storyline of Jaanwar and its box office reception? Jaanwar tells the emotional story of a man with a dark past who wants to change his life for the better. After adopting an orphaned child, he struggles to leave behind his old ways and become a responsible father. The film mixes action, drama, and heartfelt moments, making it a hit with audiences. Released in 1999, Jaanwar performed very well at the box office, earning over Rs 25 crore, which was made on budget of Rs 4.5 crore. The film turned out to be significant success at the time and helped cement Akshay Kumar's rising stardom in Bollywood. Why did Akshay Kumar stop working with Suneel Darshan? Despite the success of Jaanwar, Akshay Kumar and director Suneel Darshan did not collaborate again for almost 20 years. The director later revealed that after their work together on Jaanwar, Akshay chose to take a different path and work with other filmmakers. Suneel Darshan mentioned in his many interviews that while their professional relationship paused, he respected Akshay's decision to explore new opportunities. This long gap surprised many, considering how well their first collaboration had done. During those years apart, Akshay Kumar continued to build his career independently, becoming one of Bollywood's most popular and versatile actors.

Ranbir Kapoor's Animal Accused Of 'Copying' Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar: 'Uss Director Ki...'
Last Updated: Jaanwar stars Akshay Kumar and was released in 1999. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor's Animal was released in theatres in December 2023. Ranbir Kapoor's Animal has been accused of copying Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar. In a recent interview, the director of the 1999 movie Suneel Darshan accused Sandeep Reddy Vanga of copying his film. He argued that even though Vanga did his job brilliantly, it would have been better if he had acknowledged that he was taking reference from Jaanwar. 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better," Darshan told Bollywood Bubble when asked if he wants to remake any of his films. 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters. There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film," the director added. For the unversed, Jaanwar tells the story of Babu, played by Akshay Kumar, a young orphan who falls under the influence of a notorious gangster and becomes a feared criminal. However, after a life-altering tragedy, Babu turns his life around, adopts an abandoned child, and strives to raise him with love, honesty, and integrity. The film explores Babu's journey of redemption, the transformative power of fatherhood, and the challenges of overcoming a violent past. On the other hand, Animal was released in theatres in December 2023. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, revolves around a man and his toxic relationship with his father. The film shows Vijay (played by Ranbir) as an anti-hero who would go to any lengths to protect his father, including gunning down 200 people with a machine gun. However, despite his efforts, he struggles to get a seal of approval from his emotionally unavailable father (played by Anil Kapoor). Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
