During the much-anticipated trailer launch of Housefull 5 in Mumbai, Akshay Kumar found himself fielding a direct question about his remuneration for the film. The comedy ensemble, featuring Akshay alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and others, is set to hit the big screen soon. However, the actor’s humorous take on the financial inquiry quickly became the center of attention.
When asked how much he charged for the film, Akshay Kumar quipped, “Agar maine paise liye honge toh main tujhe kyun bataunga? Tu humara bhatija lagta hai? Maine paise liye, bohot acche khase liye. Film bani, bhut acche khaase budget mein bani.” Not stopping there, he playfully added, “Bohot maza aaya. Aaj khushi ka din hai, tune raid daalna hai?”
Here is the video:
The actor’s witty comeback drew immediate reactions across social media, where users shared their thoughts on both the question and the response. One commenter criticized the line of questioning, writing, “What a weird way to even ask the question. Nobody agrees with what Akshay charges the producers besides Akshay and the producers, but there’s a better way to ask questions.” Another took a lighter view, calling it “The only entertaining clip from the whole hour-long boring trailer launch event.” Meanwhile, others simply appreciated Akshay’s humor, with one stating, “Akshay is hilarious.”
Well, Akshay Kumar is really funny!
