New Delhi: The year 2016 has so far proven quite lucky for Akshay Kumar. Virtually everything the actor is touching is turning into gold.
He has given two movies this year. While his first release ‘Airlift’ did remarkable business and won critical acclaim, his second film ‘Housefull 3’ is also doing wonders at the box-office.
And now, ‘Khiladi’ Kumar is all set to make his debut in Tollywood. Akshay has been roped in as a villain for ‘Robot 2’ opposite Rajinikanth.
If this was not all, we now hear that Akshay is charging more than Thalaiva for the movie.
Yes! It’s true.
“Akshay Kumar has charged more than Rajni Sir to be part of 2.0. It's unbelievable but true,” a source reportedly told a leading daily.
According to the media reports, the makers have agreed to pay the ‘Baby’ actor a whopping remuneration.
"The makers approached Salman and Hrithik initially for the role but they took a lot of time to give their nod. Talks didn't materialise and when they discussed it with Akshay, they needed someone immediately to begin shoots and they agreed to all his demands,” the source added.
Currently, Akshay Kumar is busy with his upcoming movie ‘Rustom’. Helmed by Tinu Suresh Desai, ‘Rustom’ also stars Ileana D’Cruz and will hit the screens on August 12, 2016.
