Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is currently busy promoting his much-awaited film ‘Fanney Khan’, which also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Divya Dutta and Pihu Sand. The dashing actor was last seen in Salman Khan’s ‘Race 3’, which received harsh criticism from fans and critics. Kapoor, who was part of the earlier two installments of the ‘Race’ franchise, played the character of Shamsher Singh in the Remo D’Souza directorial. Despite the criticism, the action thriller minted over Rs 150 crore at the box office. Anil Kapoor has finally revealed the main reason why he signed Race 3. In case, you are thinking that the ‘Mr India’ actor did the film because of his friendship with Salman Khan, we have to stop you right there. While talking to a leading daily, the ‘Total Dhamaal’ actor said that he agreed to be part of the film for the money offered. ‘’Whenever I sign a film, I obviously think of the amount of money that it will fetch me. Acting is my profession, it earns me my daily bread and butter. If I do not give importance to earning enough money, how will I run my kitchen? My wife will never allow me into the house if I do not earn money, so it’s important to me," Anil Kapoor told Deccan Chronicle.
