Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar are currently basking in the success of their latest film, Singham Again, which has performed quite well at the box office. As per the reports by Sacnilk.com, the film crossed Rs 350 crore mark globally. This success is especially important for Akshay, who faced setbacks earlier in 2024 with films, including Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira, and Khel Khel Mein, all of which didn’t perform well at the box office. The failure of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan also led to discussions about high star salaries and the growing costs of managing big entourages.

Ajay, Akshay on entourage costRecently, Akshay and Ajay Devgn addressed the issue of actors' pay during a summit. Talking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2024. Ajay explained, "The actors charge according to scripts, films and projects. And most of us are charging according to recoveries.” ALSO READ: Agreeing with Ajay's remark, Akshay Kumar added, "If we sign a film today, we don’t charge anything; we just take a stake. If it works, we get a share in the profit, but if it doesn’t, we don’t get any money." The Selfiee actor explained that this arrangement allows actors to share the risk with producers, making the system more equitable. "Sometimes, there’s no profit share at all. In those cases, you have to accept a lower fee. That’s part of the passion for the craft," he added. "Lack of unity in Bollywood"At the same event, Ajay Devgn also spoke candidly about the lack of unity in Bollywood, particularly when compared to the supportive atmosphere seen in the South Indian film industry. He noted that while Bollywood’s top stars, including himself, Akshay, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, maintain cordial relationships, the industry as a whole lacks the collective solidarity seen in the South. Akshay Kumar also agreed, acknowledging that while Bollywood stars are generally friendly, there’s room for greater collaboration and mutual support. ALSO READ: Ajay quipped, “That’s what I keep discussing. It’s not about openings, which are a different story together, as a lot of things come into play. But I really appreciate how they (the people in the south industries) come together and stand for each other as an industry, which, honestly speaking, we lack in the Mumbai film industry. I always want that to happen.”The duo was last seen in Rohit Shetty's latest cop universe Singham Again, which clashed with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at the box office.
