Akshay Kumar joins Big B
Akshay Kumar was asked to be a part of the Unforgettable Tour 2008 of the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya), which has been in the news for varied reasons, starting from some stars not wanting to join them on the tour to the dates being shuffled around. If one has to believe the buzz, then Akshay has agreed to be a part of the Canadian leg of the world tour and not the US simply because that’s what the organisers could afford.
Understandable given Akshay is one of the highest tax payers in the film biz, having shelled out Rs 26 crores in taxes this fiscal year. Naturally, he doesn’t come cheap. He’s got five films coming up — Yash Raj’s Tashan, Warner Bros’ Chandni Chowk To China, Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakth Ishq, Vipul Shah’s Singh Is Kinng and Nagesh Kukunoor’s Eight By Ten. The actor is expected to amp his bank balance by a cool Rs 110 crore this year from these films. The underlying meaning here being, if you want Akshay, show him the money.
