Does Akshay Kumar have a special clause for heroines?

Off late there has been a trend with Akshay Kumar films. No, we don’t mean that the actor has opted for movies with a message or then the fact that his films do great business at the box office. What we are talking about is that in his last few movies the actor has not repeated his heroines. So. when we caught up with the Toilet Ek Prem Katha actor recently during his film’s promotions we quizzed him if he has any specific heroine clause in his contract. Akshay begged to differ and defended himself, he said, “It is not like that. I have done with a lot of actors four to five films. Last two years may be like that, but in my career I have worked in four, five films with the same actress.” We further probed the actor and asked if he has a rule about his costars and we got a curt “NO” as response.

Akshay’s TEPK co-star Bhumi Pednekar sure seems to have benefited from the actor being open to working with new talent. Akshay revealed how Bhumi came on board for the recent release ahead of him, he said, “Toilet Ek Prem Katha, which was supposed to be Sandaas – Ek Prem Katha. All things combined I felt I wanted to do this film. I was intrigued about the fact that, she (Bhumi) didn’t even know I was the actor in it. When she had heard about the script she said a yes without knowing that I was there. When she got to know, then she started thinking whether I should do it or not.”
