The Housefull 2 actor has been signed on to endorse a popular motorcycle brand

It seems that Akshay Kumar’s fortunes have changed thanks to Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2 becoming the third big blockbuster of the year. Though the critics unanimously panned the film, it has crossed the Rs. 100cr mark and in Bollywood, nothing succeeds like success. It also helped that Akki’s next, Rowdy Rathore looks promising, as it is in the same zone as Salman Khan’s Wanted.

This positive buzz around Khiladi Kumar has prompted a popular motorcycle brand to sign him on as a brand ambassador. It has been reported that Akshay would get Rs 50 crore for 5 years and our sources say that he stands to make about Rs 9.5 crore per annum. This is almost at par with what the Khans charge, if not more.

We wonder if there is a clause in the endorsement deal which enables the brand to re-negotiate the mammoth figure, as the next few films of the Desi Boyz actor don’t look like potential blockbusters. If you’ve read the leaked story of Joker on our site, you would know what we mean. Out of all the films on his platter presently, only the sequel of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai might hit gold at the BO. Do you think Akshay is worth Rs 50 crore?

    Akshay is Real MAN, else all are Khusray. No one even does the stunts that Akshay performs himself, He is the man of honor and worth more than any money and actor.

    Akki is way better than the looser khans and he has shown everyone that he is the only actor who can deliver a blockbuster even on a non-holiday period. And everyone around here know that you’re anti akki so there’s nothing surprising in your articles.

    Superstar Akshay Kumar now after two blockbuster films Housefull2 and Rowdy Rathore in just 2 months is worth more than 100 crores as his films have more than 100 crores. Honda motorcycles were smart to clinch the deal before Rowdy Rathore released. If they were to wait till now it would have been difficult to sign him for more than 100 crores. The cola company who has dropped Akshay before the release of Housefull 2 has come back on all fours and wanting to take him on for a better price. Man Akshay Kumar is becoming priceless. So 50 crore is nothing…..

    AKSHAY KUMAR IS THE REAL ACTION KING SUPERSTAR. HE IS HUMBLE AMONG THE SUPERSTARS WITH ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AND IS NOT A SHOW OFF OR ATTITUDE STRUCK AND DOES NOT GET INTO PUBLIC FIGHTS LIKE HIS OTHER FELLOW STARS. ON TOP IN SPITE OF DOING 4-5 MOVIES A YEAR HE IS DISCIPLINED AND PUNCTUAL ALWAYS. HE LIVES A HEALTHY LIFE AND DOES NOT SMOKE, DRINK ALCOHOL OR EVEN TEA OC COFFEE. HIS EXERCISE REGIME IS ALSO VERY APT AND NOT UNHEALTHY.
    HE IS A VETERAN OF OVER A 100 MOVIES OF VARIED KINDS BUT STILL LOOKS YOUNG AND FIT AND WILL RULE THE HINDI FILM MARQUEE FOR MAYBE ANOTHER 20 YEARS BECAUSE OF HIS HEALTH CONSCIOUS, ATHELETIC ,SPORTY AND YOUTHFUL LIFESTYLE.
    HE IS MOST VERSATILE AND HAS MASTERED COMEDY AND HAVE DONE EMOTIONAL DRAMAS , LOVE STORIES, THRILLERS AND EVEN A MR. BOND IN HIS NEWCOMER DAYS. HIS CANADIAN FILM BREAKAWAY( SPEEDY SINGHS) WAS CANADA’S HIGHEST EARNING ENGLISH FILM LAST YEAR.
    HIS STUNTS ARE ENERGETIC AND DEATH DEFYING DANGEROUS AND NOT CHOREOGRAPHED COMPUTER GENERATED SOUTH INDIAN TYPE ACTION LIKE IN FILMS. WITH LOOKS TO KILL,HEALTH CONSCIOUS ATTITUDE THAT YOUTH CAN FOLLOW AND HIS HEIGHT AND COMIC TIMING ADDING TO HIS PERSONA, HE IS INDIA’S PRIDE AND ONLY SUPERSTAR, WHO PUTS HIS STARDOM ON THE LINE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AND IS NOT SCARED. IN THE BARGAIN TAKING THE EMPLOYMENT IN THE FILM INDUSTRY ON HIS STRONG SHOULDERS WITH HIS BIG BUDGET MOVIES, IN SPITE OF THE FILM INDUSTRY AND SO CALLED FILM TRADE AND SO CALLED BIASED MOVIE CRITICS BEING UNCHARITABLE AND SOMETIMES DOWNRIGHT HOSTILE. I AM SURE THAT HE IS A FIGHTER WHO LIVES LIFE TACKLING EVERY STUNT WELL AND FIGHTING EVERY DETRACTOR WITH ANOTHER POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCE CRITICALLY AND BOX OFFICE WISE. THIS YEAR WE HAD A WORLDWIDE SUPERHIT HOUSEFULL2 AND A BLOCKBUSTER IN MAKING ROWDY RATHORE. WITH THESE MOVIES HE IS BECOME MOLTEN HOT SUPERSTAR ONCE AGAIN WHICH HE ALWAYS WAS. HIS WORTH IS PRICELESS. HE IS INDIA;S HIGHEST CELEBRITY TAXPAYER FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE CONTINUES TO BE INDIA’S HIGHEST TAXPAYER FOR ALWAYS. HE IS ONE SUPERSTAR WHO IS FIT FOR ADULATION AND ADORATION. HE IS A IDEAL IDOL FOR YOUNGSTER TO FOLLOW IF THEY HAVE TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS AND LEAD A DISCIPLINED LIFE. HOPE HE KEEPS RULING ALWAYS AND GIVE US ANOTHER 100 MOVIES TO ENJOY.
    HAIL THE ORIGINAL KING WE WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW…. HAIL KING AKSHAY KUMAR….
