Aamir First to Break the Rs.10 Crore Barrier!!

Do you know what Aamir Khan is reported to be charging for his role in Mani Ratnam’s Lajjo? Hold your breath – a cool Rs.13 crores!! (US$3 million). Producer Bobby Bedi is relying heavily on Aamir to deliver. Confidence levels are high after two back-to-back Aamir hits, Rang De Basanti, and Fanna, ruled the box office this year. The cool dude, quite savvy of his crowd pulling abilities, did not apply the brakes after negotiating the mind-boggling amount. He arm-twisted the producer to agree to pay him 25% of the box office returns as well. Aamir sure has raised the bar a tad too high. But, with the moolah flowing in from overseas rights as well, producers won’t mind paying the stars! King Khan, are ya listening?
