Akshay Kumar has been making headlines for his portrayal of Lord Shiva in his next – OMG 2.
While the Khiladi of Bollywood is considered to be one of the highest-paid actors in the Hindi film industry, he is said to have allegedly taken a pay cut for his next.
If this report is to be believed, Akshay has apparently slashed his multi-crore fees by a huge amount.
Akshay, who usually charges around Rs 50 – 100 crores per film allegedly, has reportedly taken home Rs 35 crores for the much-awaited sequel, OMG 2.
It is being said that the actor took this step due to his back-to-back flops at the box office in recent times.
Akshay’s recent releases – Ram Setu, Samrat Prithviraj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan – failed to charm the audience and tanked at the ticket window.
About OMG 2:
Written and directed by Amit Rai, the sequel also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead. The sequel features Pankaj as devout worshipper of Lord Shiva, Yami plays the role of a lawyer. Akshay will be seen as the messenger of Lord Shiva.
The movie has been cleared with an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate from the censor board and will hit theatres on 11 August 2023, facing a box office clash with Gadar 2.
