Akshay Kumar, another big name in Bollywood, is also estimated to have paid 5 crore in advance tax payments, from Rs 4 crore.
Actor-producer Aamir Khan, whose small-budget edgy movie Delhi Belly released this quarter and was received well, saw a 50 lakh rise in advance tax outgo at 4.5 crore.
New kid on the block Ranbir Kapoor's advance tax outgo stood at a flat 2.5 crore, sources said.
