will be anchoring the show- Akshay Kumar - the action king daredevil turned family hero of Bollywood. In 2008, he is out to prove that action is second nature to him and that all the years as the soft-spoken gentleman have not changed the adventure- lover in him. He has action flicks like Tashan lined up.

But, Fear Factor is going to be the best quencher of the thirst for action in this martial arts expert. But the talking point is not his selection but the fact that he will be breaking records of small screen compensations. 1.5 crores per episode is something even SRK is not currently demanding for is upcoming game show ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez The’. Well, that says a lot about the confidence that producers have in the man who has hardly tasted failure over the last couple of years.
