Airlift box office collections were sensational and it became an over Rs 100 crore movie after releasing on a high and doing even better as the patriotic drive climaxed on 26th January, 2016 – Republic Day. Airlift is based on one of the largest human evacuations in recent times and it became the year's first quite successful movie. But in terms of cold cash, here is how the finances panned out personally for Akshay Kumar.

While everyone has been proclaiming that Airlift box office collections have scripted the tale of what will eventually turn out to be one of the high points of the year so far, Bollywood Hungama decided to take a closer look at the finances of the film and its profitability to its makers.
-
So, figuring from there, we find Airlift, which was made on a budget of Rs 40 crore, has turned out pretty well for its makers, with an expected profit of approximately Rs 64.50 cr. Surely, Akshay Kumar has the golden touch that will get him many more movies in the times to come.

While Airlift box office collections reached stratospheric heights, the question that also arises is, how profitable has the venture been for Akshay Kumar personally? In fact, the actor who usually charges anywhere between Rs 30 to Rs 35 cr for a film slashed his remuneration to a meagre Rs 8 cr this time. But, he did take a lion’s share of the profits with his share of proceeds being a whopping 70% of overall income with the remaining 30% being split between the film’s producers viz. T Series and Abundantia Entertainment (Vikram Malhotra).

With this restructured remuneration model of Airlift, Akshay Kumar certainly hit the bullseye as he walked away with approximately Rs 50+ cr in profit. Looking at these figures, we must say that this was certainly a smart move indeed by the actor that also showed off his business skills.
