The Only Indian Superstar In Forbes 2020


The annual Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid celebrities 2020 features one and only Indian actor and that is Bollywood’s action hero, Akshay Kumar. The actor is 52 years old now and his position on the list is also 52, coincidentally. Akshay Kumar surpassed Hollywood biggies like Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and singer Rihanna, with earnings of 48.5 million dollars.

Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood’s most bankable actors. And it’s no surprise that his movies raked in a staggering Rs 700 crore in a single calendar year. The actor usually has three to four film releases in a year and most of his films gross over 100 crores and seldom does touch 200 crores as well. When Akshay makes a film from his own production house, the profit is much prominent.

He also signed nearly 20 brand endorsements which make him mint millions. Therefore, Akshay Kumar’s net worth continues to grow with a growth of 15-20% per year. The reports came in that the actor will also be seen making his web debut with a show tentatively called The End.

Akshay reacted on Forbes list and he spoke a few deets about his struggles right from the beginning of his career. “You have to change with the times. From screenplays and scripts to technology and the way of shooting and the audience. The zeros in my check have changed. Everything has changed. I just wanted to earn around 10 crore rupees, that’s it. But I’m a human being, and when I made my first 10 crores, I thought, why can’t I make 100 crores. To be honest there was no stopping me,” he said.

Apart from this, Hollywood stars, Kylie Jenner and Kanye West topped the annual Forbes list of the highest paid celebrities and sports stars, like Roger Federer and Lionel Messi, dominated the top 10.

If the ongoing buzz is anything to go by, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s highly -anticipated 152nd film, Acharya, has been postponed to Sankranthi, 2021. Needless to say, the reason behind this postponement is the 2 month long shutdown of shootings due to the lockdown.

Apparently, Team Acharya will be resuming the shooting formalities from June 15th, after the Telangana government issues permission for the shootings. A couple of songs and a massive action episode will be canned in the upcoming schedule.

So far, director Koratala Siva has completed nearly 40 percent of the production formalities. Clarity on Ram Charan’s special cameo movie is yet to be made by the makers. Ram Charan and Niranjan Reddy are jointly producing this high budget social drama. Kajal Aggarwal is the film’s leading lady.

The government followed the list of directives proposed by the Andhra Pradesh State Film, TV and Theatre Development Corporation (APSFTVTDC) and amended the 2006 G.O.

With the implementation of the new G.O., filmmakers need to pay a refundable caution deposit and the money will be refunded soon after the completion of the shooting.

The government has categorised the public locations under the corporation and municipality limits into 3 categories. While the producers pay a caution deposit of Rs 15,000 per day in category 1, they will be paying Rs 10,000 and Rs 5,000 respectively to shoot in 2nd and 3rd categories respectively. The above freebies can be availed once the permissions for shooting are given after the lockdown period ends.
