Guess how much Akshay Kumar charged for 'Selfiee'
What's the story
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, producer Prithviraj Sukumaran revealed that Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar did not take money for his role in the film Selfiee.
The movie, produced by Sukumaran, was a remake of his 2019 Malayalam hit Driving Licence.
Directed by Raj Mehta, it received mixed reviews and eventually flopped at the box office.

Kumar's condition for remuneration
The actor-producer said, "I have produced a film with Akshay Kumar, sir. He did not take a single rupee. He only said, 'If the film makes money, then I'll take my remuneration.' The film did not do well and he did not take any money."
The film, released in 2023, also starred Emraan Hashmi, Diana Penty, and Nushrratt Bharuccha.
