Akshay Kumar is unquestionably the most workaholic actor of Bollywood. He is known for releasing films back to back all round the year. All the filmmakers want to cast Akshay as his involvement guarantees the success of the film and looking at his demand in the B-town, Akshay has decided to raise his acting fee yet again.

Akshay's schedule is all packed as he has about half a dozen films lined up with release dates spanning as far as 2022.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, "Over the last few months in the lockdown, Akshay Kumar has gradually hiked his fees from 99 crores to 108 crores and finally settled in on 117 crores for the films he signed recently. Every producer wants to have Akshay on board, considering his low risk, low budget, and assured return model, leading to excessive demand in the market. Akshay too has followed the economic formula of higher the demand, higher the price, as with every film offer coming his way, he hiked his fees. For the films which are slated for a 2022 release, Akshay will charge a bomb of Rs 135 crores per film."
