Atrangi Re: Here's How Much Akshay Kumar Would Apparently Get For A Two-Week Long Shoot

Right from the time Atrangi re had been announced, we have been intrigued. The film would have stars like Akshay Kumar, Dhanush, and Sara Ali Khan in the lead and it would be directed by Aanand L Rai. The film had gone on floors in March but was stalled again due to the lockdown. And now, we are getting to hear that Akshay Kumar will be a part of the shoot for only two weeks. What's more- he would get a whopping amount for the film!

According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source was quoted saying, "The superstar has a fascination with number 9, which he considers as his lucky number. He always charges a fee that adds up to the number. Although he usually charges around Rs 1 crore a day for his film shoots, for Rai's Atrangi Re, he has paid almost double. He received a whopping Rs 27 crore as his remuneration for the film." The director's team downright denied the rumours and called it false.

Akshay Kumar was the last actor to come on-board for the film. He had said yes to the film in less than 10 minutes out of sheer admiration and respect for the filmmaker. Apart from this, Akshay Kumar would be seen in Sooryavanshi, Bell Bottoms, Bachchan Pandey, Laxmmi Bomb and Prithviraj.
