Akshay Kumar Will Be Paid Rs. 27 crore By Ekta Kapoor!
December 18th, 2010 - 6:45 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
While most producers would have done away with the actor, Ekta Kapoor is not someone to accept defeat. The producer seems keen to work with only Akshay Kumar in her much awaited sequel. This means that Akshay Kumar will take over from where Emraan Hashmi had left the character of Shoaib Khan in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. Emraan Hashmi’s character in the film had been loosely based on real life underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
The media is already abuzz with news of various people from within the industry questioning Akshay Kumar’s sudden fee hike even though he has not generated a hit for a long time. And it is not only the Khiladi Kumar, several other actors in Bollywood are also opting for a rise in their remuneration in the coming year. Akshay Kumar’s good friend Salman Khan is also among them.
