Mumbai: Actor Akshay Kumar, one of the top-paid stars in Bollywood, has been reportedly honoured by the Income Tax department as the ‘highest taxpayer’ in the country again. A honorary certificate for Akshay Kumar from the Income Tax Department has been doing the rounds on the internet.
Akshay Kumar was presented with a certificate by the income tax department. Since Akshay Kumar is currently shooting in the UK, his team accepted the honour certificate from the Income Tax Department on his behalf. It is not a big surprise as the actor has consistently been among India’s biggest taxpayers over the previous five years.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Akshay will be seen sharing screen space with Bhumi Pednekar in ‘Raksha Bandhan’, which is scheduled to release on August 11. Directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon, the film is produced by Colour Yellow Productions, Zee Studios, Alka Hiranandani in association with Cape Of Good Films. The film shoot was wrapped up in Delhi last year’s October.
Akshay is also a part of ‘Selfiee’, which will be out on February 24, 2023. The upcoming drama-comedy will also have Emraan Hashmi, Diana Penty and Nushrratt Bharuccha in pivotal roles. ‘Selfiee’ is the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film ‘Driving License’, which starred Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles.
