Salman Khan will now be the top paid Bollywood actor
pocketing a whopping Rs. 130 crores for 26 Bigg Boss episodes. That
means he will be getting Rs. 5 crores per episode. For the previous season of
Bigg Boss, which was the sixth season then, Salman used to charge Rs. 2.5
crores for each episode.
The sudden rise in the rates and that too twice what he used
to get earlier can be attributed to the fact that he will be seen in a double
role for this season. The double role is due to the concept of the show for the
season.
For the seventh season of the reality show, the concept is
heaven and hail. That is why Salman will be playing the double role. He will be
seen in roles like and angel and a devil that goes with the theme of the show.
However, all might not be well for Salman. As he has been
charged with charges of culpable homicide in regard to the 2002 case, he may
have to face legal action that may potentially not make him available for the
show. To overcome this problem, Salman Khan will be shooting a couple of
episodes each day every week.
