Rs 1.5 crore per episode!

Akshay Kumar
Of late, Akshay Kumar has been giving Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan a good run for their money.

He’s been running the race pretty arduously and is now fast closing in on the two Khans. So, obviously, the next step in his career is clear. If Salman Khan can do an upcoming reality show and SRK can do Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain ? can Akshay Kumar be far behind?

Come August, Akshay too will join the fray. He has been roped in to do the reality show Fear Factor .

What’s more, according to a reliable source in the TV industry, “Akshay will be paid Rs 1.5 crore per episode, which is more than what SRK is getting for Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain ?” Incidentally Sallu has been booked for Rs 89 crore for 104 episodes. So far, we’ve been hearing about his big film deals, now there’s confirmation that he may yet overtake the Khan in price.

Akshay has given his nod to this action show which will require a lot of nerve. Our source adds, “In fact, Akki is extremely kicked about the whole thing, since Fear Factor is all about daredevilry and Akki simply loves all that. Things will start rolling in a month.”
