Richie Rich 's of Bollywood : Aamir Declines 60 Crores
Do you know how much money Bollywood stars now demand for each movie? Who are the Richie Rich's of Bollywood? In Bollywood, a Crore has become the new Lakh. Read this.
There was a time when Bollywood super stars like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Ashok Kumar used to work on a monthlysalary of Rs 200 only. In this salary, they were acting in more than one film for their companies. Time then changed and the actors started signing for individual films. Soon we heard the figure of a few lakhs for a film. But now this has changed dramatically.
Today, the lakh has lost its significance in Bollywood. A crore is just a lakh now! Actors, directors, cinematographers and music directors are now demanding a crore-plus for their work in just one film!!
Can you imagine, Aamir Khan was offered Rs 60 crore for a film, but he declined the offer as he did not like the story of the film!
