In 2022 Bollywood star Akshay Kumar struggled to deliver a hit at the box office. His films like Raksha Bandhan and Ram Settu failed terribly both critically as well as commercially. The slump continued into 2023 as Selfiee also underwhelmed. In a recent interview Selfiee producer Prithviraj Sukumaran disclosed how much the actor charged for the film. Prithviraj revealed that Akshay refused to take any fees for the project. While speaking to Pinkvilla he shared I have produced a film with Akshay Kumar sir. He did not take a single rupee. He only said ‘If the film makes money then Ill take my remuneration.’ The film did not do well and he did not take any money. Directed by Raj Mehta and produced by Dharma Productions Magic Frames Prithviraj Productions and Cape of Good Films Selfiee is a remake of the Malayalam film Driving Licence. It features Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha Diana Penty Mahesh Thakur Meghna Malik Abhimanyu Singh and Adah Sharma in supporting roles. Made in an estimated budget of Rs 100 crore the comedy drama film garnered mixed-to-negative reviews from audience. The film grossed only Rs 24.6 crore worldwide hence proving to a box office failure.
