Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has reportedly signed a film with Reliance and will be paid nearly Rs. 50 cr. If industry sources are to be believed, the Khiladi’s estimated pay for his latest film, which is a remake of south film Thupakki, will also make him the highest paid actor in B-Town, far ahead of Shah Rukh and Salman.

Recently, fans of Akshay Kumar got the hash tag  #Akshay2000crore to trend worldwide for two days, suggesting that the actor has earned a whooping Rs 2000 cr in his lifetime in Hindi cinema.
While the news of his assets was left unconfirmed, an emotional Akshay Kumar thanked his fans, whom he fondly referred to as “Akkians”. "Honestly blessed to have you all Akkians in my life. Special thanks to my fan clubs who support me so much selflessly time & again. Thank you for the #Akshay2000crore tag only possible coz of you all," he tweeted.
The trend started on February 16 and was taken off on Monday. It was one of the top trends in India. Akshay is riding on both the box office success and the critical acclaim of his latest film Special 26 that also starred Anupam Kher and Manoj Bajpayee. It is learnt that the film's production company, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, is keen to carry the heist tale forward into not only a sequel, but an ongoing franchise.

While Special 26 is doing well at the box office,  2012, too, was a successful year for the star with blockbusters like Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore and Khiladi 786.
Housefull 2 and Rowdy Rathore joined the 100 crore club making him one of the most bankable actors for producers.

Fans upset Dabangg, chase him on Bikes

Hyderabad: A strong fan following can at times be scary. In a bizarre incident, crazy fans literally chased superstar Salman Khan in Hyderabad on Sunday night. The actor's car was followed by about 20 bikers, all the way from Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium to his hotel. Salman had gone to the city to watch a CCL match between his brother Sohail Khan's Mumbai Heroes and the Telugu Warriors.
 
According to an eyewitness, after the match got over around 11 pm, Salman walked to his car, parked right outside the stadium's gate. To facilitate his exit, traffic was blocked and fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor were pushed aside. Some even started following Salman's car, forcing the police to lathi-charge them. But the trouble didn't end there. About 20-odd bikers (some bikes even had three passengers) started following him. They rode close to the car and kept knocking at the window. A source said, "Salman was very upset with the way people behaved. He was concerned that there could have been an accident."
 
Well, we can understand your worry Bhaijan. Crazy fans can at times be a pain.

Papa won’t preach sexy Alia


Image
Mumbai: Bold daddy Mahesh Bhatt’s darling daughter Alia Bhatt shocked one and all on Monday night. At a special screening of Bhatt Camp’s latest film, Murder 3 , Alia, who comes across as a “good girl” of Bollywood, was seen wearing a transparent blue top. While the revealing top came as a surprise, what shocked everybody present at the event was the fact that papa Mahesh Bhatt was right beside her, proudly getting pictures clicked. Also present at the event were Mukesh Bhatt, Vishesh Bhatt andMurder 3 star Aditi Rao Hydari. Though, not many people bothered to look at them as all eyes were fixed on sexy Alia.
 
 
So, is the Student of the Year star aiming at bold roles in film industry? Or dear daddy is planning a sensuous script for his angel? After all, Bhatt camp films are famous for being high on sensuality. Whatever may be the case, Alia’s transparent blue top did raise many eyebrows. Alia, who is a newcomer to B-town, made her preferences clear in her very first film. Her steamy bikini shot in Student of the Year was a sort of statement in itself. While we all know that Alia is okay with sexy dresses, we wonder, didn’t she feel awkward in the presence of her papa?
 
 
However, Alia is not the only one trying for an image makeover. Earlier, Dabangg girl Sonakshi Sinha, the “official” good girl of Bollywood, was seen wearing a see-through-all top. Sonakshi was recently busy shooting for Saif Ali Khan starrerBullet Raja in Kolkata Rajjo committed a fashion faux pass as she wore a black transparent top, which revealed her innerwear. Well, we are not sure whether it was a mistake or not. If it wasn’t, dad Shatrughan Sinha would surely have screamed Khamosh !
All we can say is that not all dads can be as cool as Mahesh Bhatt. Sigh!

New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan met British Prime Minister David Cameron in New Delhi on Tuesday. Khan and Cameron interacted with students of Janaki Devi Memorial College in the capital. Khan, who had met with US President Barack Obama in 2010 during his India visit, is the only Bollywood actor to be meeting the English premier.
 
 
Apparently, the actor's team and David Cameron's office have been working out the schedule since a couple of months. The British Prime Minister expressed a desire to meet Aamir Khan owing to his growing popularity in the UK after he featured on the cover of Time magazine.
 
 
David Cameron has also been impressed with Aamir's social work through his TV show Satyamev Jayate . Aamir Khan, who is currently shooting for Raju Hirani's Peekay in Rajasthan, specially flew down to Delhi for the meeting.
 
 
“I was informed about the meeting around two three weeks back. For Satyamev Jayate we did a lot of research on the problems of women. The patriarchal thinking is the main reason for this. If we as a nation want to reach places, we have to stop killing girl child,” said the actor in a statement.
