Is Salman Khan charging Rs. 5 crore per Bigg Boss episode?

Bigg Boss season 7 will shortly get underway and there are news and rumors that Salman Khan is charging Rs. 5 crore per Bigg Boss episode that makes it Rs. 130 crores for 26 episodes. However, when Salman himself was asked this question, he asked to play guessing games by saying that the cheques he receives are actually fatter.

As a matter of fact, Salman Khan will be seen in a double role in this reality show and that could be the reason why he has doubled his fees from the previous season. Actually, the media reported his answer as ‘Salman joked ….’ This again shows that no one knows the exact sum.

Salman has been associated with the show for a long time now and this will be the fourth season that he will be hosting. This time, the theme for the show is hell and heaven and that’s why Salman will also be seen in these two roles.

Speaking about his role, Salman Khan said that all of us have these two sides – the devilish and the angelic. We can bring out the values by repressing the negative sides.

Salman Khan to get Rs. 130 crores for 26 Bigg Boss episodes

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.
