Akshay Kumar, whose stock has steadily risen this year, is now aiming for the top slot in Bollywood. The actor is reportedly sought a paycheck of an astounding
Rs 15 crore for a film recently, the highest fee ever demanded by a Bollywood actor.
To put the amount in perspective it maybe recalled that in June when Hrithik Roshan signed his Rs 35 crore three film deal with Adlabs the amount was considered breathtaking by the industry.
Two reasons for the surge in Akshay's popularity are his excellent comic abilities and the fact that he is a prolific actor. Unlike Shah Rukh Khan who is inclined to do just one or two films in a year and work only with big banners Akshay does four to six film a year and is unmindful of the banner he is working under.
More than anything we have a non khan doing well in bollywood. but gosh 15 crore is too much
