Akshay ready to kickstart 'Fear Factor 2'
Akshay Kumar who charged Rs 1.5 crore per episode for the reality show Fear Factor Khatron Ke
Khiladi, is now planning its second season. It is alledged that Akshay will be increasing his price to Rs
2.5 crores per episode. This is more than what Shah Rukh Khan charged for Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas
Se Tez Hain and what Salman Khan got for 10 Ka Dum.
A source says, "The channel which hosted the first series approached Akshay for his approval of the
second season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. But after the successful run of the show, the the actor has
demanded a hike in his price. He wanted a hike to Rs 2.5 crores per episode. Incidentally, Sallu had
been booked for Rs 89 crores for 104 episodes of 10 Ka Dum. Akshay has been running the price race
pretty arduously and is now closing in on the two Khans.
Our source adds, "The producers, Endemol and the channel Colors are deciding the location of the
second season. The shoot is tentatively scheduled for next month. Akshay's first priority is his films, so
only once he is done with his movie schedule, will he start shooting for the show. |
