Check out Shah Rukh Khan’s fee for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
The Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the richest actors of the Indian film industry at the moment but there was time when he was paid less and in one of his movies, he was paid less than the choreographer of the film.
Recently, Farah Khan, the director-choreographer gave an interview in which she revealed that for movie “Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa”, SRK was paid only Rs. 25,000 and she was paid Rs. 5,000 per song and as there were six songs, she was paid Rs. 30,000.
She said, “The budget was very low. Shah Rukh was paid Rs 25,000 for that movie. I was the highest paid person on that movie, let me tell you. I was paid Rs 5,000 per song, and there were six songs. Just because of that, I was paid Rs 30,000. We couldn’t even afford an assistant. So, that full song ‘Aana Mere Pyar Ko’, we cast regular people from Goa.”
Farah Khan also revealed as to why she was afraid of working with SRK in the beginning, she said “We started the shoot in 1991, and I was also new. We were in Goa, and I’d only read an interview of Shah Rukh in which he sounded very brash and arrogant. I was very scared. I remember what he was wearing and doing when we first met; Kundan Shah introduced us. Sometimes, you instantly hit it off with somebody. You feel like you’re friends from school. That’s what it was like with Shah Rukh. We had the same interests, we’d read the same books, we had the same sense of humour.”
Well, SRK’s hard work paid off and now he is one of the highest paid actors of the industry.
