Is Akshay Kumar charging his fee from wife Twinkle Khanna for 'Padman'? Here's the truth

After the success of his last release, Jolly LLB 2, Akshay Kumar has begun working on wife Twinkle's maiden production venture, Padman. When asked about whether he's excited or pressured to deliver a hit as usual, and whether he's going to charge Mrs Funnybones any fee at all, here's what the Khiladi told HT cafe, "If I don’t charge my wife, how will I put rocks on her fingers, and give her holidays to write about (laughs). I’m actually in my element right now. We just started shooting, with my wife at my side, my kids on her lap and with temples all around. It is a script so worthy that I truly believe every man and woman should watch this film. It will bring awareness and truly make so many women’s lives easier, better and, most importantly, healthier. Again my wife has proved her magic in bringing to light what India needs to hear. All we can do now is pray that they want to listen to that. We are proud to make Padman."

Not just wife Twinkle, Akki is going to be working with Salman Khan, who will don the hat of a producer. "Each and every partnership with Salman, over the years, has been epic in every way. This film will be no different. We have the utmost respect for each other’s time and talent. Plus, the subject of this film has all of us excited, something I’m truly waiting to start."
