Akshay Kumar to get Rs 71 crore for his next film?
September 18, 2008
King Akshay Kumar has reached where no actor has gone before. We hear that the actor has signed a whopping Rs 71 crore film deal with UTV.
Ram Mirchandani, founder & COO, UTV Rampage Motion Pictures, confirmed that their company had signed the Singh Is Kingg star. "But the remuneration figure being bandied about is far less," he said, adding warily, "The buzz is market speculation. And, we as a company, don't comment on market speculation."
Akshay too chose to play down the deal. "I am a stakeholder in the film that's yet to go on the floor. Who arrived at this figure? Market rates fluctuate. My price will be decided when the film is being sold. Who knows what the market will be like then?"
