Akshay Kumar has returned to television with a new reality show titled Wheel of Fortune. The show is currently streaming on SonyLIV. This marks his comeback to TV after a long gap.
Earlier, Akshay Kumar hosted popular reality shows like MasterChef India, Dare 2 Dance, and Khatron Ke Khiladi. His return to the small screen has caught attention. Viewers were curious to see him in a new format.
With Wheel of Fortune now streaming, social media reactions have started pouring in. Netizens have shared mixed opinions about the show. The response has been divided across platforms.
Some viewers are happy to see a fresh reality format on OTT. One X user praised Akshay Kumar’s infectious smile and boundless energy. The user felt the episode was carried entirely by his presence.
However, not everyone was impressed with the show. A few users criticised the format and execution. One X user called the show disappointing and said it did not match the original version.
At the same time, several fans are rooting for Akshay Kumar’s comeback to films. Some feel television should be a short break. They want to see him return to action comedy roles.
A user suggested that the actor should revisit action comedy films. This genre has worked well for him in the past. Fans believe it could help him reconnect with audiences.
Akshay Kumar’s Bollywood journey over the last five years has been uneven. Films like Sky Force, Kannappa, and Housefull 5 failed to make a strong impact. Box office success has remained elusive.
Now, the actor appears to be testing the OTT space to regain audience trust. Television and digital platforms offer him a fresh route. Whether this move will work remains uncertain.
The big question is whether Akshay Kumar will find success digitally. Or will he shift focus back to films soon. The answer will unfold in the coming months.
