Akshay Kumar charged a hefty Rs 60 crore for Khel Khel Mein, which was made on a Rs 100 crore budget. Despite featuring a star cast including Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, and Fardeen Khan, the film only grossed Rs 57 crore worldwide, making it a box office failure. However, it found success after its OTT release on Netflix, where it was appreciated by viewers.
