With remuneration of actors playing a
significant role in the budget of any film, there were days
when actors were paid in thousands. One
such actor who now is milking money in crores per film, Akshay Kumar started
his career with 50,000 per film. Moving on to earning in lacs and now adopting
the model of profit sharing. During his tenure of acting in diversified roles,
he has also met some interesting producers. Among those were also some who didn’t
pay his complete fee. Him being the perfectionist in business, didn’t like to
keep any balance payments. One such producer, who owed him Rs. 15000, stopped
picking his calls or replying back to his messages. In order to collect his
money, the khiladi Akshay Kumar landed at the doorstep of the producer. The
producer went numb when he opened the door knowing very well the purpose of the
actor visiting him. Akshay too without saying a word, stepped in the producer’s
house, unplugged the tape recorder from the socket and moved out as silently as
he had entered. The producer too being well aware of the due payment, remained
a silent spectator to Akshay’s gimmick to get his money back. Akshay sold the
tape recorder considered as priced possession years back which got him 7000
bucks. The balance amount is still pending to be recovered. However, with the
choice of Akshay Kumar’s film and business acumen, he has earned much more in
the last few years be it in terms of respect or cash and now we are eagerly
waiting for his next release ‘ Rustom’ which already looks like a winner.
