After a successful 1st season in 2008, the show came back for a season 2 in 2011 and now for season 3.

The production house anchoring the show internationally is Magical Elves Production, the same company that helmed the popular Project Runway.

Go figure The buzz is that Kumar, who is currently shooting for Anees Bazmees Thank You in Canada with Sonam Kapoor, has been offered twice the fee he was paid for hosting two seasons of Khatron Ke Khiladi on Colors, in 2008 and 2009.

The first season of the show was also considered the channel driver, ever since it started earning the channel its ratings.

Kumar was reportedly paid Rs 1.25 crore per episode (Rs 110 crore for 13 episodes in all) and Rs 90 lakh an episode for Season One and Two respectively.

Following higher expectations, Season Two was pulled into the 9 pm slot.

Sources claim that the deal between Star Plus and him has been finalised and he will be paid twice his price.

He has been offered between Rs 1.5 crore to 1.8 crore an episode, which is higher than what he worked for on Colors.

He becomes the second actor to double his fee and, hopefully, overtakes Salman Khan, who is being paid twice his last seasons fee for Dus Ka Dum Season Three.

Akshay has agreed to do the show and once he returns from Canada, the shooting schedule, venue and other details will be locked, says our source, close to the actor.

Policy matters Our source adds that Kumar had constantly been getting mails from fans across the world to do a TV show for housewives.

His fans were urging him to move on to something that was not action.

He worked as a chef when he was in Bangkok, learning martial arts.

Akshay was keen when Star Plus approached him for the show, though he had other offers, adds our source.

Akshay Kumar admits that whenever he is in Bangkok, he ensures that he visits the place he used to work at.

Its the place where I worked and funded my martial arts education.

Bangkok has almost become a second home, because Ive shot so many films there.

The actors spokesperson confirms that the channel has approached him for the show, but refuses to add more to the information.

Once the paperwork is sorted, everyone will know the details, the spokesperson says.

When asked, Vasudha Jha from Star Plus refused to comment on the show and the money being offered to Khiladi Kumar, pointing out, Its against the channels policies to discuss money matters and financial dealings with the press.

His upcoming releases, this year, include Vipul Shahs Action Replay, Nikhil Advanis Patiala House and Farah Khans Tees Maar Khan.

The American version is currently in its seventh season with hosts, Katie Lee Joel and Padma Lakshmi.
