Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was recently recognized by the Income Tax Department as the highest income tax paying artist in the individual category. However, the situation is way different when it comes to his films minting money at the box-office and his latest release 바카라˜Raksha Bandhan바카라™ has failed to change the tide for him. The opening day of the film of about Rs. 9 crores has been the lowest opening of Akshay Kumar바카라™s previous 10 films (except 바카라˜Bell Bottom바카라™).
