Akshaye refuses a lot of films
Akshaye Khanna has been refusing a lot of films only because he has not been able to play the leading man and not too many people are convinced that for the price that Khanna has to be paid for the film, he will not be able to justify the lead billing.
Akshaye is also regretting playing the film actor in Tees Maar Khan and hence has been refusing roles with big stars too. And that is why when Rumy Jaffrey approached him with a film subject which had him in the lead, Akshaye jumped at the offer.
The film will be produced by Nitin Manmohan under his banner and Akshaye is being paid his price as well. Whether Nitin Manmohan also pay the price for signing Akshaye, is something that remains to be seen.
