Currently, Akshay Kumar is really busy with the marketing for his forthcoming movie Selfiee. Recently, there were rumours circulating that Akshay Kumar demands between Rs. 50 and Rs. 100 crores for each film. At the unveiling of the Selfiee trailer, the actor was asked about it. Here is Akshay’s opinion on the matter.
Akshay Kumar, an actor, is excellent with his unique responses and is very outspoken. When Akshay was questioned on Sunday by The Filmy Charcha about the claims that he charges between Rs. 50 and 100 crores for each film, it was at the unveiling of the Selfiee trailer. Akshay told, “Mera badhiya response rehta hai. Aapka kaisa response rehte hai jab aap sunte ho? (My response is always positive. What do you think?)”
When the journalist said he feels good, Akshay responded, “Acha lagta hai na? Aur lagna bhi chahiye, kyunki positive baatein hai na. Bhagwan kare tere sath bhi ho. (It feels good, right? You should feel good because these are positive talks. I hope it happens with you always).”
In November 2022, Akshay addressed the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit and discussed the excessive price of cinema tickets in India. In addition to the performers, producers, and theatres, he continued, “There are so many other things that need to be done. I’ll admit that I wish to reduce my prices by 30% to 40%.
Emraan Hashmi, Nushratt Bharuccha, and Diana Penty are featured in Selfiee as well. The movie, which is directed by Raj Mehta of Good Newz fame, will premiere on February 24.
