Akshay Kumar's Atrangi paycheck

Who on earth comes up with these bank-boggling brainwaves about star fees? The latest salary salvo, if we may call it that, is that Akshay Kumar is getting Rs 120 crores for his role in Anand L Rai’s forthcoming Atrangi.

Not only did the financial figure turn out to be fabricated, it is now revealed that Akshay only has a cameo in the film. An informed source says, “The film revolves around the characters played by Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan. Akshay has a small but very important role. It’s actually a guest appearance which he is probably not charging any money for.”

Earlier, Akshay has done a cameo (as a gay hitman) in Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom for which he did not charge any money.
