These costs may have changed in the course of recent years. Then again, the article still gives a thought regarding extravagant costs of Bollywood begins for open appearances and films. The costs given in the article manage Indian rupees (SLR 2.06 as of December 29)
Under his standard rates in 2012, Salman Khan charged more or less Rs. 30 000 (SLR) every day for open appearance.
The stunning truth about star costs!
Kareena Kapoor would need to act in eight movies to win what Salman Khan can pocket in only one film, which is around Rs. 23-27 crore! Akshay Kumar, the star of the multi-star cast Housefull and Housefull 2, has not seen the housefull sheets outside film lobbies for his performance starrers since what is by all accounts perpetually, yet despite everything he gets paid Rs. 18-20 crore for each film he lives up to expectations in. Vidya Balan may have conveyed Kahaani to the winning post and sacked each honor for The Dirty Picture, yet would you accept that considerably after two hits, she is not the most elevated paid on-screen character in Bollywood? That is the filthy truth about star costs. Till the '90s, Amitabh Bachchan was the main star paid in crores. Allegorically talking, stars should be existing up there in the sky. Be that as it may now, it is their costs that are touching the sky.
Welcome then to this present reality of stars and their unbelievable costs. You may even feel slanted to term their compensations disgusting, more profane than any grown-up sex film Bollywood has ever produced.
Principles of engagement
Star costs are infrequently, if at any point, settled, on the grounds that performers make concessions for makers or chiefs who are companions or who are star names themselves. Stars are additionally enthusiastic individuals. So you have Shah Rukh Khan doing movies for Yash Chopra and Karan Johar at a value which is lower than what he would request from different flags.
Salman had, years back, made a special effort to suit a film with the crestfallen Saawan Kumar Tak when the last asked for him to make his film with lesser performers saleable with his vicinity. In addition, if a script gets the extravagant of a star or on the off chance that he is quick to work with an executive or maker, he wouldn't fret making a concession in his expenses in light of the fact that, all things considered, stars require great scripts, standards and chiefs as much as makers and executives need top stars.
Like some other item, the cost of a star is dictated by the laws of interest and supply. The more prominent the interest and/or bring down the supply (read accessibility of stars), the higher the cost. On the off chance that the whole group of lead stars is considered as one unit and all the makers set up together, an alternate, it is unmistakably an instance of interest for stars surpassing the supply. That is on account of the quantity of movies created every year in Bollywood is around 140-150 however the saleable legends or the individuals who can be thrown in lead parts are scarcely 14 or 15. Likewise for the main women. On a normal, along these lines, each one star ought to be working in 10 movies consistently, which doesn't happen now.
Ultra-particular saints like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh do one or two movies while other A-listers like Salman and Akshay are seen in two, three or four movies consistently. There may be performing artists who have six to eight discharges a year yet they are not very many in number.
That our performing artists, particularly the A-rundown ones, summon revoltingly high costs is an open mystery. Not simply in total terms, regardless of the fact that one were to take a gander at the proportion of failures to hits (80:20) consistently, it is impossible to say that a large portion of our stars get undeservedly high costs. For, regardless of the fact that a decent script is the fundamental motivation behind why a film lives up to expectations at the ticket windows, the stars have a real part to play, particularly the saint and champion who fill in as magnets to attract the crowd to the silver screens, at first at any rate. Considering that 80 every penny of the movies bomb consistently and 90 every penny don't even open acceptably enough to defend the high costs paid to their lead on-screen characters, it is clear that the majority of our stars are paid compensation that is much more than they merit.
Film industry magnets
Indeed today, it is on the quality of face esteem that the paying open disparages a film, in any event for the first couple of days. In that sense, more than even the scriptwriter, executive and maker, it is the star, particularly the saint, who, so to speak, is the ISI mark for a film. As it were, the point at which a star is requesting Rs. 10, 15, or 20 crore for a film, he is, by suggestion, guaranteeing his maker of an incredible opening. In any case for the group of onlookers, his vicinity in a film is similar to a guarantee of value silver screen or, in any event, esteem for their cash. It is because of this confidence which the group of onlookers has in a star (that the star will offer them a captivating motion picture) that the recent charges the value he does. Then again, just that on-screen character ought to really be viewed as justified even despite each crore he is paid, who guarantees that his film opens to guard houses furthermore guarantees that it offers diversion to the paying open. Along these lines, Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh appear to be the main three stars who are consistently paid what they merit. Ajay Devgn and Hrithik Roshan are crawling their path to that position however the incidental Guzaarish or Aakrosh pulls them down.
