The
word
is
that
the
hot
flavour
of
the
season
Akshay
Kumar
has
charged
a
huge
sum
just
for
lending
his
voice
to
one
of
his
upcoming
projects-
the
animation
film
Jumbo.
Now
like
a
true
blue
B-Town
guy
Akki
has
always
refused
to
talk
about
the
acting
fee
he
charges
but
the
big
buzz
is
that
the
actor
is
creating
a
new
record
of
sorts,
as
far
as
his
remuneration
is
concerned.
Apparently
he
has
been
paid
a
whopping
sum
of
Rs.
9
crore
to
dub
for
the
character
of
an
elephant
in
the
film
made
by
Percept
Picture
Company.
And
that's
not
all.
The
actor
will
get
half
the
profit
that
the
film
makes.
As
a
result
of
this
deal,
Akshay
will
have
to
complete
the
shooting
of
PPC's
stalled
project
Eight
By
Ten
which
is
being
directed
by
Nagesh
Kukunoor.
It
has
been
stuck
since
last
year
due
to
some
irreconcilable
differences
between
Akshay
and
Kukunoor.
The
film
is
supposedly
a
psychological
thriller
and
Akki
plays
a
man
with
amazing
mental
powers.
It
probably
is
inspired
by
Manoj
Night
Shyamalan's
Unbreakable
which
starred
Bruce
Willis
and
Samuel
L
Jackson.
B-Town
has
almost
lost
confidence
in
bad
boy
Salman
Khan
as
he
has
a
string
of
flops
in
a
row
now-
God
Tussi
Great
Ho,
Hello
and
Yuvvraaj
which
kind
of
benefits
the
hit
machine
in
a
big
way!
Looking
at
the
current
status
of
Kinng
Kumar,
it
seems
that
King
Khan
and
even
Aamir
Khan
have
a
lot
to
worry
about!
