We hear Bollywood actors talking about recession and what can be done to underplay its effects but then there is an actor who’s actually doing something about it. Yeah, you read that right, Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar has reportedly reduced his fee from Rs 50 crore to 20 crore.
According to reports, Akshay, who is known to be very particular about the money he takes home, has gone ahead and done something really unexpected by slashing down his price. What’s all the more surprising is the fact that Akshay took the step after the overwhelming response to his latest film ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, which generated more than Rs 100 crore at the Box Office.
It is believed that the major reason for this price reduction is that the actor now wants a part of the profits of every film he undertakes.
With the new mechanism in place, Akshay, these days, is insisting on knowing the cost of the film at the time of signing it so that he can calculate the profit beforehand. Now that’s called some business acumen!
