<span class=normal>Akshay Kumar in Rowdy Rathore and Housefull 2<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It wouldnt be wrong to state that so far 2012 has been Akshay Kumars year. The actor, who desperately needed some big hits to retain his super-star status, first struck gold with Housefull 2. Despite starring many talented actors, it was Akki who delivered the maximum laughs with his lecherous act and that trademark Ayeeeeehhh style. However, what happened after Housefull 2 took everyone by surprise. Rowdy Rathore stormed the box office like a hurricane emerging as Akkis highest grossing film till date. Unlike Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore was a one-man show by Akshay who had the masses rooting for him like never before. Surely they loved to see their Khiladi back in his Action avatar. </span>
