It is being said that actor Akshay Kumar, who will now be seen Neeraj Pandey\'s \'Special 26\' slashed his fees for the film, and he charged only half the total amount he usually charges for his films. He confirmed the news by saying that as far his film roles are concerned, he is looking forward to a good change and would even consider working for small budget films.
There is certainly no doubt that since the script of the film impressed him, he made this decision.
The film is based on true life events where a group of conmen pose themselves as CBI men and approach rich businessmen to loot them. The film also has Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpai and Jimmy Shergill in pivotal roles.
