Recently, there were rumors that superstar Salman Khan will be carrying home Rs. 5 crore for every episode of Bigg Boss 7. However, reliable sources close to the project have denied this amount and called it, “impractical unrealistic and impossible.”
The sources placed Salman’s newly-negotiated fee to host Bigg Boss Season 7 closer to Rs. 3 Crores per episode.
Says the source, “Salman’s fee is between 2.5 crores and 3 crores per episode. His total fees is around Rs. 45 crore for 20 days of work. Akshay Kumar had got Rs. 1 crore per episode for Master Chef, which was a record of sorts. Ageee, Salman is a bigger star than Akshay. But I don’t think the figure of Rs. 5 crore for Salman makes any sense. This is someone’s flight of fantasy.”
The bigger question is that who is responsible for flaunting such unrealistic figures? This is not the first time that a superstar’s television deal has been blown out of all financial proportions.
A highly-placed source from the television industry says, “These highly exaggerated fees are ways to show that the superstar is doing television only because it has been made worth his while. Such absurd figures are not to be taken seriously.”
