The
newly
emerged
Kinng
of
Bollywood
Akshay
Kumar
or
Akki,
as
rightly
called,
is
definitely
riding
high.
With
back–to–back
hits
he
has
proved
to
be
the
star
with
the
Midas
touch
with
all
of
his
films
proving
to
be
winners
for
the
producers.
This
in
turn
soar
his
demand
in
the
market
and
placed
him
among
the
top
league
of
Bollywood.
After
conquering
Box–office,
Akki
has
also
become
King
of
the
ad
world.
A
couple
of
days
back
he
was
appointed
as
the
new
brand
ambassador
for
Levi's
jeans
'501'
brand.
And
if
all
this
was
not
enough
than
here
is
one
more
reason
for
Akki
to
be
rightly
called
as
the
'King'
of
tinsel
town.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Bollywood
Superstar
Akshay
Kumar
has
been
awarded
the
title
of
'Brand
Ambassador
of
the
year'.
This
coveted
title
was
honoured
to
him
at
the
CNBC
Awaaz
consumer
awards
2008
held
in
Mumbai
recently.
Akki
won
this
title
leaving
behind
the
likes
of
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Shahrukh
Khan,
Aamir
Khan
and
Hrithik
Roshan
in
the
race.

Till
date
Shahrukh
and
Big
B
used
to
be
touted
as
the
most
powerful
and
bankable
brands.
In
fact
Shahrukh
is
the
only
star
who
has
supposedly
the
maximum
number
of
brand
endorsements
under
his
belt.
But
with
Akshay's
entry
in
the
brand
war
this
competition
becomes
fiercer
from
here
on.
Do
you
think
Akshay
is
the
right
choice
to
be
called
as
the
'Brand
Ambassador
of
the
year'?
Or
you
think
someone
else
deserves.
