Action movies can never go out of vogue. And as if to stress that, we have quite a few coming up in the next few months.
Here's looking at some of the big action movies coming up:
R... Rajkumar
Prabhu Dheva showed the way for action films with his Hindi directorial debut Wanted that redefined the meaning of the genre.
Now, with R... Rajkumar, the director hopes to score again, with Shahid Kapoor in the lead, as well as his favourite leading lady Sonakshi Sinha.
Release date: December 6

Dhoom 3
Dhoom brings with it a lot of style and thrills.
With the first two installments being a big hit, it's time for the upcoming third part to share a similar fate.
With Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif taking over the show, this team looks set to win.
Release date: December 20
Jai Ho
Though Salman Khan's Jai Ho has been in news even before the film was announced, it's surprising that the first teaser is yet to come out, as the film is scheduled to release next month.
The superstar has delivered five back-to-back blockbusters and there's an air of secrecy around this action film.
Directed by brother Sohail Khan, let's wait and watch what the Khan brothers have in store for us.
Release date: January 24
Gunday
The 1970s style Jai-Veeru saga returns with Gunday.
Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor are expected to create havoc in the film, that promises a fair share of action and drama.
For director Ali Abbas Zafar, this is a complete departure from the candyfloss cinema that he created with Imran-Katrina-Ali starrer Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
Release date: February 14
Action Jackson
With 'Action' being a part of the film title, one can expect a lot of it in this Prabhu Dheva-Ajay Devgn movie.
The film is being pitched as a romantic action comedy, what with Sonakshi Sinha, Yaami Gautam and newcomer Manasvi Mamgai stepping in as leading ladies.
Release date: April 11
Holiday
Akshay Kumar returns in an action avatar with Holiday, which is a remake of the hit Tamil movie Thuppakki.
With A R Murugadoss as the man behind the camera, one waits to see if the action goes many notches over his work in Ghajini.
Buzz is that Hollywood stuntman Greg Powell, who worked on films like Skyfall and the Harry Potter series, will choreograph some innovative stunts in the film.
Release date: May 1
Kick
Salman Khan continues his action stint with Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick.
It will be interesting to see how producer Sajid, who makes his debut as a director here, handles it.
Release date: July 27
Gabbar
Sanjay Leela Bhansali first tried his hand at action as a producer in Rowdy Rathore and followed it up with Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela.
Now, he will produce another hard core action film called Gabbar, starring Akshay Kumar.
Critically acclaimed Telugu director Krish will make his debut in Bollywood with this.
Release date: August 15
Phantom
Saif Ali Khan, who has experimented with his roles in films like Agent Vinod, as well as realistic Bullett Raja, steps into a bullet-filled zone again with Phantom.
With Kabir Khan's sensibilities coming into play, this could well be a film to watch out for.
Release date: August 15
Singham 2
There is much expectations from the kind of action that will be on display in Singham 2, a film that brings back the blockbuster pair of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty.
Singham 2 is an original film, not a remake like the first film, and one can expect much more drama and action.
Release date: August 15
Bang Bang
An official remake of Tom Cruise starrer Knight and Day, this Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif starrer has been seeing quite a few challenges as far as the shoot is concerned. Hrithik injured himself while shooting for the film and had to undergo a brain surgery.
The shooting schedules have gone off again, as the actor is currently in London for medical reasons.
Director Siddharth Anand has a task at hand to try something so extraordinary that it surpasses the action in the original. With Hrithik here, it should be possible.
Release date: October 2
