Akshay Kumar’s multi-starrer Mission Mangal witnessed a clash with Bollywood actor John Abraham’s Batla House on August 15th. While Mission Mangal earned accolades from all corners, Batla House had a decent stat. The film has said to have collected Rs 33.89 crore in three days. On the other hand, even after having a number of female actors in film, Mission Mangal has been called Akshay Kumar’s film largely. Reacting on the same, Vidya Balan told Indian Express, "There is no denying that the biggest star on this film and one of the biggest stars in the country is Akshay Kumar. When you talk of the business of a film, you talk in terms of the male actor. Hopefully, in a few years, that’ll change."
