Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment in the hit Welcome franchise. Amid anticipation surrounding the film, reports have shed light on the actor’s remuneration and profit-sharing arrangement. The actor is said to have accepted a fee of just Rs 1.8 crore for the project. He has also negotiated a big share in the film’s intellectual property revenues after release.

As per a report in Free Press Journal, a trade source said, “As of now, the makers are rumoured to have finalised a deal of around Rs 120 crore from OTT, audio, satellite, etc. They will therefore have to recover a lot less from theatrical income. Welcome is a big franchise. The earlier two films, Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015) have great recall. So, the third part of the franchise is also carrying buzz. Since the secondary rights have already yielded safe numbers, the makers can breathe easy for now.”
