Is ‘Selfiee’ Akshay Kumar’s worst flop ever?

Akshay Kumar’s bad run at the box-office continues.

His latest release, Selfiee, starring Emraan Hashmi, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty, has registered ‘shockingly low’ numbers on day one.

The film has managed to take only 1. 30 crores at the box office as it managed to even not beat Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada which earned around 2.92 cr.

Trade expert Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and expressed shock over such low numbers at the box office of Akshay Kumar’s Selfie.

As per the industry tracker Sacnilk, Selfiee, also starring Emraan Hashmi, managed to earn only Rs 3 crore at the ticket counters on its opening day.

It registered an overall occupancy of only 9.95%.

The figure is even lower than what trade experts had conservatively predicted ahead of the film’s release.

Film producer and trade analyst, Girish Johar, had predicted that the film’s opening day collection would fall somewhere between Rs 4 crore and 5 crore.

Each of actor Akshay Kumar’s 2022 theatrical releases — Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, Bachchhan Paandey — sank at the box office, but at least they had solid openings.

So, this could turn out to be Akshay’s worst opening film ever

Directed by Raj Mehta, Selfiee is an official Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Driving License, which starred Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles.

It stars Akshay Kumar as a movie star who wishes to get a driving licence made to perform a stunt in one of his movies.

However, for that he meet an RTO officer who turns out to be his massive fan.

On Friday night, Kangana Ranaut also took a dig at Karan Johar, whose Dharma Productions has produced the film.

Taking to her Instagram story, Kangana wrote in her first post, “Karan Johar movie Selfiee has hardly made 10 lakhs on the first day I don’t see even one trade or media person talk about it forget mocking or bullying him the way they harass me…”

The Khiladi needs to reconsider his movie choices in order to bounce back.
