Akshay Kumar has reportedly refused to reduce his high price equation for the producers of his upcoming movie.
The film is called Dhan Dhana Dhan and stars Katrina Kaif in a lead role alongside Suneil Shetty and Paresh Rawal. It is being directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Venus.
This latest news comes as Bollywood is also feeling the effects of a credit crunch and any hopes of inflated prices being cut, have now been dashed.
A source revealed: "Venus had signed Akshay last year for Rs. 27 crore for Dhan Dhana Dhan and in fact Akshay had taken this entire amount during the signing itself."
"That time, there was also a deal formed between him and Venus according which, Akshay would enjoy 51% share of the profits whereas Venus's share would be 49%."
"Plus apart from that, if the film's profits cross the Rs. 25 crore mark then whatever earned above this mark would go into Akshay's pockets. Venus won't have any share into that."
