As reported by DigitalSpy, recently two film makers who signed Mr. Khan claimed that Salman has increased his fees and has charged an exceptionally large sum of Rs. 50 crore for his next films. The actor has made up his mind to increase his fees from previous Rs. 40 crore to Rs. 50 crore and his manager Matrix is making sure that the actor gets his due.
The decision came right after the super success of ” Dabanng”, “Wanted” and “Ready” which now has made Salman eligible for the most successful and the highest paid actor in Bollywood.
A source said:
“Salman is not only quoting a fee close to Rs. 50 crore, he is also ‘recommending’ directors for these films. Like, for the T Series project Salman has put forward the names of two directors and has asked producer Bhushan Kumar to choose from one of them. Furthermore, he insisted on Sonakshi Sinha for ‘Kick’ and now he`s recommending Zarine Khan to his prospective producers.”
Before hiking the fees Salman cut down his price from Rs 40 crore to Rs 17 crore due to financial crisis of Bollywood revealed by Bhushan Kumar:
“When Salmanbhai did ‘Ready’ the film industry was facing a huge financial crunch. But he agreed to cut down his price from Rs 40 crore to Rs 17 crore. This was the only way we could have made ‘Ready’ at that time. Now the market has changed for the entire film industry. So, we are currently re-negotiating with him for our next film.”
It is yet to see, which Khan will cross The 50 crore Khan.
