Here’s why Akshay Kumar doesn’t want a body double!
DNA (May 29, 2015)

Akshay Kumar is one actor, who has never used body doubles. Whether it is leaping off from buildings or choppers, the actor does it all himself. We now hear that though he refuses body doubles and saves the producer a packet, he does ask for an accident cover. Reportedly, Akshay was insured under a personal accident policy of Rs 35 crore bought by his own production banner Hari Om Entertainment and Sunshine Pictures for Holiday. Apparently, this is the highest cover any celebrity has ever availed for their films. In fact, superstars like Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan don’t even ask for accident cover for themselves. But production houses generally buy a cover of `5-10 lakhs for every crew member for any accidents that happen during the shoot. It also goes for the medical expenses if any. Reportedly, the actor also has an accident cover of `20 crore for Airlift which is presently getting shot.
