As per the latest update in Bollywood Hungama, Jagan Shakti is being paid 4 crores to direct the Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Lion. Now that is a huge amount. “After the success of Mission Mangal, a lot of producers wanted to work with Jagan, however he was committed to making a film with Akshay again. He, however, underwent a surgery last year, which delayed his film.
