Actor Akshay Kumar cut down his fee to half for the film Special 26.
A special screening of Special 26 was demanded by CBI to see if the agency has been shown in good light or not.
Actors Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan were also considered for Special 26, but the role went to Akshay Kumar as he was director Neeraj Pandey's first choice.
The name of Akshay Kumar in the movie Special 26 is Ajay Singh which has been kept deliberately, as it means 'unconquered lion' in English and suits his nature in the film.
Neeraj Pandey, the director of the movie Special 26, waited for almost three years after his movie 'A Wednesday' just to get Akshay Kumar in the film.
The movie Special 26 is based on a real life incident where a group of conmen faking as CBI officers pulled off many robberies.
Akshay Kumar had initially refused the film. However, six months later, when he was requested to hear the script again, he loved it so much that he felt he was silly to refuse it the first time.
Akshay Kumar has sung for a movie for the first time with recording a promotional song, 'Mujh Mein Tu' for Special Chabbis.
