Akshay kumar is receiving threatening call asking for Rs 5 crore or face elimination. He informed the police that he is receiving extortion calls from a gangster who is threatening to kill him.

According to Akshay he suspected that a former domestic help, whom he recently fired, was behind the extortion calls. Sources revealed that Akshay fired the domestic help a couple of months ago. "He had been working for Akshay for quite some time and wanted remuneration for his years of service, which Akshay refused. Angered, the man passed on information about the star and his lifestyle to the underworld," said a crime branch officer, who did not wish to be named.

According to sources,the gangster, suspected to be Ravi Pujari, has made several calls to the actor over the past few weeks, and has refused to budge from his Rs 5 crore demand. For now, the police are on the lookout for the domestic help. "The nature of the information the caller shared confirmed the theory that somebody from within the household had got in touch with him or one of his henchmen. But so far we have not been able to substantiate this as the domestic help is yet to be traced," said a senior crime branch official.


Meanwhile, apart from crime branch,the Juhu police have also been informed about the calls and have been asked to keep a watch on Akshay's residence. The actor, believed to be in Jodhpur for a shoot, was unavailable was comment.
