Akshay in Sequel of Once Upon a Time In Mumbai

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 02:54 AM PDT

Akshay Kumar will still reportedly be paid 23 cr for the sequel of Milan Luthria's Once Upon a Time in Mumbai that is to go floors in December this year. Akki is the highest paid Bollywood superstar. Salman Khan who is molten lava after Dabangg, the second highest B-town grosser of all time, is allegedly getting 21 crores for Atul Agnihotri's Bodyguard plus a share in the profits.

The other two Khans-Aamir and Shah Rukh have no fee earmarked against their names. But they have a stake in the profits as equal to that of the producer.

For e.g. Aamir is said to have taken home approximately 55 cr for 3-Idiots until now, while SRK who produced his last major release My Name is Khan with Karan Johar is also said to have pocketed a tidy sum. In the case of RA.One SRK will make a profit of at least 50 cr because he is the producer.

Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty now a formidable team after Golmaal-3 are likely to get 18 cr from Aasthavinayak Motion Pictures for Bol Bachchan going on floors this August.

Ajay says, ``Actually Rohit and I are co-producing the film with Aasthavinayak, so it is hard to mark out a price.'' But the grapevine insists it is around 18 cr.

Saif is reportedly getting something between 11-13 crores for Prakash Jha's Aarakshan that is coming on August 12 and Shahid Kapoor is being paid around 9 cr for an upcoming film.

While Imran Khan is in the 7 cr price range for Mere Brother ki Dulhan and Short Term Shaadi; Ranbir Kapoor is getting paid twice that amount because he is a bigger star and more versatile.

Another reason why star prices remain high is because of the boom in satellite prices.
