The hard period that the Selfie actor was going through has finally come to an end thanks to Akshay Kumar‘s ‘OMG 2’, which is outperforming the fierce opposition offered by Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer.

Gadar 2 is unquestionably at the top of the box office rankings in the northern regions, but ‘OMG 2’ has amassed a remarkable domestic net total of ₹84.72 crore and a worldwide gross of ₹111.8 crore.

Meanwhile, ‘OMG 2’ producer Ajit Andhare has dispelled the speculations and has confirmed that the multi-talented actor Akshay Kumar has not charged even a single rupee in compensation for the film ‘OMG 2’, despite numerous suspicions regarding its budget.

“The reports of the budget of OMG 2 are grossly exaggerated. On the contrary, Akshay (Kumar) didn’t charge a rupee in fee and in fact, walked alongside us in both the financial and creative risk involved in such a courageous film,” Andhare told one of the media houses.

“We share a long history & understanding with him as a Studio since OMG, Special 26, and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and I have been totally in lockstep with him in taking up scripts that are unconventional but stand for something larger and meaningful. Without him this risk was impossible to take, he was fully invested both creatively and financially,” he added.

Although the collection of the film is approaching ₹100 crore slowly, actor Akshay Kumar on Thursday thanked and expressed his gratitude to the audiences.

The tweet reads, “A big thank you to our audiences for all the love for #OhMyGadar and giving us the greatest week in Indian Film History! प्यार और आभार🙏🏻”
