Akshay Kumar gets insured for Rs 50 crore

Mumbai, April 24 (ANI): The producers of 'Rowdy Rathore' insured Akshay Kumar for a whopping 50 crore as the actor insisted on performing the daredevil stunts himself.

The industry's Khiladi refused a body double for Prabhudeva's action-dripping film.

However the jaw-dropping insurance amount is justified as the movie promises high-octane action sequences to the audience.

"Right at the start, when Prabhudeva narrated the script, Akshay was kicked about the raw action scenes. But everyone was worried about him doing the scenes himself, considering they were a bit dangerous," an insider from the movie told a leading daily.

"And since we all know how much he loves action, we thought of insuring him at a heavy premium even before the film started. We knew he'd insist on doing most of the stunts personally, so we're happy nothing tragic happened during the shoot," the insider added. (ANI)
