Clarifying the reports of Akshay replacing Salman Khan on Bigg Boss the source said, “Akshay has always maintained that if it is about work, he would be the first to let the world know about it. Still, there are so many speculations and rumors that end up spreading. Let it be said on record that Akshay is not signing up for ‘Bigg Boss’. Colors and Endemol maybe having certain plans for their super successful reality show.
However, Akshay certainly doesn’t have any plans whatsoever of his own. He is doing Star Plus’ The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and that’s about it.”
