International megastar Akshay Kumar has continued to show why he is one of the most loved stars of Indian cinema as he claimed the award for \u2018Best Actor\u2019 at the annual Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards.<\/p>\n

Since 1969, the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards have honored the best in Indian cinema, television, music, and OTT. It is named in honor of the \u2018father of Indian cinema\u2019 Dadasaheb Phalke, a renowned producer-director-screenwriter.<\/p>\n

With the impact of Covid19 wreaking havoc on the entertainment industry, many blockbusters have been halted, while companies have seen drastic losses in revenue in what has been one of the toughest ever periods for the industry in India and abroad. However, the awards still went ahead this year as the releases which did make it onto our screens over the past year certainly brought smiles to our faces during such uncertain times.<\/p>\n

Akshay Kumar, who is one of the most celebrated actors in the world, was recognized for his outstanding performance in the hit film Laxmii, which revolves around a man who gets possessed by the ghost of a transgender person.<\/p>\n

In addition to this success, other notable award winners were Deepika Padukone, who won \u2018Best Female Actor\u2019 for her role in Chhapaak while the late Sushant Singh Rajput was posthumously honored with the \u2018Critic\u2019s Best Actor\u2019 award.<\/p>\n

Despite a 30-year career in the industry, Akshay Kumar shows no signs of slowing down. The actor continues to go from strength to strength as his work ethic and efforts to help those affected by the pandemic throughout the past 12 months have won many plaudits.<\/p>\n

Later this year, fans will get to enjoy seeing him on screen soon again with films such as Sooryavanshi, Prithviraj, and Bell Bottom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
