Akshay not in Hera Pheri3 as he was demanding 90 crore+ Profit

Good to see producers taking a stand  and not signing actors for unviable fees .. 

A bonafide blockbuster for Karthik is loading !!

"Through the discussion, Akshay Kumar quoted Rs. 90 crores as his fees plus some share of profit as his remuneration for Hera Pheri 3 whereas Kartik Aaryan was willing to do it for Rs. 30 crores. Firoz went to the satellite and digital players with the two probable casting calls and that’s when he realised that the proposition of working with Kartik Aaryan was giving him more lucrative returns in the final tally than working with Akshay. The difference in the remuneration price was nearly Rs. 60 crores between both actors. However, the film was fetching only Rs. 15 crores lesser from satellite and digital players for Kartik as compared to Akshay. Firoz was nearing saving Rs. 45 crores by signing Kartik for the film.”

After delivering back to back flop movies, how can he ask for 90crs?

Flop actor demanding so much.

It's a way to not sign the film , probably didn't like the script.

Usually actor demand high money for scripts they don't like to not sour the relationship 

As per an IF article he has issued an apology for not being able to do the film and said he was unhappy with script.

Its okay Akshay, the audience will survive not seeing you. Also, I hardly think there is any buzz about this film anymore.
