Meet actor whose fee has jumped from Rs 5000 to Rs 900000000 in just…, his name is…, net worth is Rs…

Several actors in the Bollywood industry are millionaires today, but at the beginning of their careers, they likely never imagined they would reach such heights. Today, we’re talking about one such actor who started his journey with a fee of just Rs 5,000 and now charges Rs 90 crore per film. He is one of the most successful and beloved actors in the industry. He releases around four films in a year; however, the ratio of hit movies is lower. His career is currently going through a rough phase, as he has been searching for a hit for quite some time. Still, his journey remains incredibly inspiring as he has accomplished milestones that are difficult for most to match.

We are talking about Akshay Kumar! He began his career in 1991 with the film Saugandh. Before entering Bollywood, he trained in martial arts and also worked as a chef in Bangkok. Having started his journey with modelling, Akshay has made some interesting revelations about his early life. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he shared that his first salary was Rs 5,001 for the film ‘Deedar’, released in 1992. Pramod Chakraborty gave him a cheque of Rs 5K, but the actor signed this film for Rs 50,000. However, his fees have increased a lot in his 33-year career.

Akshay was quoted in 2017, telling the leading tabloid, “Much to my surprise, he (Pramod Chakravorty) gave me my first cheque, signed me up for three films, immediately. Right away. He gave me a cheque of Rs 5000, for the first film, Rs 50,000, for second film, and the third cheque had Rs 1.5 lakh on it. The exact time he gave me those cheques was 6 o’clock in the evening. It would have been a disaster if I had gone to Bangalore. Today, I would be a retired model somewhere. So yes, whatever happens is for the good.”

Akshay Kumar himself believes that it is 70% luck and 30% hard work. In his career, the actor has given many hit, semi-hit, flop and blockbuster films. It is said that he charged Rs 145 crore for his last film ‘Kesari Chapter 2’.

Some time ago, a Forbes report on Akshay Kumar’s wealth was released, revealing that his total net worth is Rs 2,700 crore. Despite delivering a series of flop films, he continues to be in high demand among directors.
