Akshay hikes price to Rs 40cr


The drama in Akshay Kumar’s career has been no short of a Bollywood plot — the actor has seen the highest highs and lowest lows. After enjoying the status of the most bankable actor in the industry for several years, his career nosedived after a spate of flops such as Action Replayy and Tees Maar Khan. But Housefull 2, followed by Rowdy Rathore, got him back in the game. And now, the khiladi wants to make the most of his “bankable” tag. The buzz is that Akshay has hiked his fees to an obnoxious Rs 40 crore, which makes him the highest paid actor in the industry.

Apparently, he hiked his price to avoid mediocre films and film-makers. “He knows that not many film-makers can afford his price. The ones who can will be the top-notch ones,” says a source. As of now, the actor is focusing all his energy on his home production Oh My God. “He is concentrating on the home production because he is the sole investor and profit holder in that project.”

Since his upcoming film Joker is ready for release, actress Sonakshi Sinha and Chitrangada Singh have taken on the role of promotions, the source informs. Akshay’s strategy is indicative that from now on he wants profits to be the prime focus. “Barring friends like Sajid Khan, Akshay won’t compromise on his fees,” the source adds. Call them greedy or smart — our actors sure know the tricks of the trade.

    Great – Now with that fee how Salman can involve him in Expandables 2 (as someone was angry to exclude his name :P )

    Knowing the fact that very few Stars have initial or Weekend pull his decision will only benefit him.

    I don’t think this is true. Unless it’s a home production that he is starring in :-)

    thankx to @das bro & also thankx to @FS for suggesting our name to mods.

    Btw this news cann’t go wrong because some news also coming ,akshay will get 70% of profit shares + Fee in A R murugadoss’s next.
    So perhaps this news of 40cr relating for that project.
    And now @doga ji concerned about who cares ?? Yeah right but it is only for mass audience not for loyal cinema lover .

    Aditya n awesomeakshay – wht i can suggest is write one or two articles of your own – not the cut n paste ones n ask somebody to post it. If your writing skills are very good then definitely mods will not have any second thoughts to award posting rights.

    @ranjit – in the naachgaana post u mentioned some one (either the original writer or bournvita who posted it here) has taken a piece of information (yashraj trying pre booking for srk starrer which all production houses do) and added masal to it. its not an information that is likely to come from salman. he is not yasharj.

    abut akshay price hike planted story can only come from akshay. just like no one outside yashraj wud know abt release startegy of his november film, no body apart from akshay’s office are likely to know his real fees.

    the difference is as clear.

    can u show me a story where salman charging an exorbitant fess is reported?

    Akshay Kumar deserves whatever price he asks for after giving big monster hits this year.

    40cr sounds reasonable I guess….4 hi to bade mega-stars hain jo movie ko apne dum pe achhi khaasi hit dilwa sakte hain…jitna maangein de dena chahiye inko to…

    Oh you say only akshay ‘s office know about Fee. How do u know about it, if the such news from salman khan then that ‘ll be true & if other actors news coming from media then you salman fan said it is false.
    WTH yaar , How media got this news ? Nither u know nor me. So be happy Ok.

    @pyaari behna – article padhti bhi ho ya bas link cutand paste kar deti ho? that article clearly is from t series stable and there is aquote of bhooshan kumar in it.

    while in teh above article all the quotes are ‘from a source’. yellow journalizm ke 1st rule se bhi waaqif nahin ho kya?

    if it were true we cud have had a story with a quote from ronnie screwewala or sajid khan. just like yashraj officially announced that salman fees for ett was 22 cr plus profit share. aamir has also had official announcements of real figures and so has hrithik.

    but its akshay and sharukh who float unbeleivable numbers through the rumour mill with quotes from the sources.

    can u understand teh difference.

    @aditya007 – no if a storey like this came with ‘credible quotes’ i wud call it real and if it was floated like a rumour with quotes from a source (which actually wud be his PR) the i wud call it fake and planted and kashya a creep and manipulative slimeball.

    Btw in your eyes ,who is ”credible quotes”? Is he Salman khan or any other Actor who related from him.
    And why r you calling manupulative again & again? I think you’ve insequre with this news . & pehaps yeah You also know that whenever salman will go down ,then its reason ‘ll be Akshay kumar.

    And for your kind of infomation , this news may surely right because many source says about it.
    So just chill!!!!!

    @aditya – by credible quotes i mena a reputed producer (like bhooshan kumar in salman khan story) and not a mysterious source that is akshay PR.

    aur aise manipulative jhoothe creep ko aur kya kahoon main.

    aksha se bada slime ball koi nahin. at least bachchan and sharukh buld false hype over genuinely big acheiovements. akshay is into white lies.

    Oh You think bhushan kumar’s story is right & salman charges 50 cr per film , haha ha!!
    If such things will be happen from salman side then No One can save to Industry.

    ‘Aur mujhe Wo article bhi yad hai salman ke PR Daily Bhasker ka tha’. btw Akshay is loyal movie star ,he never use cheap publisity for any selling product, Like ur crap salman khan & companey used ok.!!

    @aditya – bhooshan kumar is a producer. so

    1. he cud have actually signed salman for that amount.
    2. even if he hadnt he wud know better as he must have negotiated
    3. he has come out openly so he is not fibbing.
    4. he has his own interest in plugging salman as he is hoping to sign a film or has signed a film with him.

    none of this applies to akshay story with the ‘anonymous source’.

    I know bhushan kumar is a producer /director,but this may be possible mr. Bhushan didn’t met to salman khan directly , he met to His PR & sallu’s PR hikes the (N8) rate of salman per movie for made some news.

    @aditya – 1. fees are not discussed by pr.

    2. the journalist has approached and sked bhooshan kumar clearly in this case.

    3. bhooshan has not hidden his identity as he is not hiding any thing as opposed to ‘the mysterious source’ in akshay story who clearly has a lot to hide.

    4. akshay’s track record and forthcoming films dont suggest he is in a aposition to charge that kind of money unlike salman khan.

    @nawaab – r u manish? becoz he apparently made point somewhere and i did not see. apart from that i dont remember that happening with anyone, including you.

    in any case if u like it that way, i have no probs. keep getting personal and making afool of yourself.
