Bollywood’s Dabangg actor Salman Khan is considered one of the most expensive and top stars in Hindi cinema. His star power is universally recognized in the film industry, and he charges a hefty sum for a single film. Regarding Salman Khan’s fees, he typically charges around ₹120 crore per film. However, news has recently emerged in the industry that has shocked everyone—it’s being said that Salman Khan has significantly reduced his exorbitant fees. Let’s explore the real reason behind this.
Bhaijaan agreed to a lower fee for the film ‘SVC 63’
According to media reports, Salman Khan has agreed to take a much lower fee than his market fee for his upcoming film “SVC 63.” Since this news broke, fans have been wondering why such a prominent superstar has made such a decision. It’s worth noting that a very close and old friend of his is behind this, for whose sake Salman has taken this drastic step.
The upcoming film “SVC 63” will be directed by renowned director Vamshi Paidipally, and Salman Khan will soon begin shooting for the film. According to inside information, the film is expected to be released in theaters during Eid in 2027. Sources indicate that Salman Khan has charged only ₹70 crore (approximately $1.2 billion) for this project, significantly less than his usual ₹120 crore (approximately $1.2 billion).
Left crores of rupees for friendship
An insider told the respected media outlet Free Press Journal that Salman Khan’s market value has consistently been ₹120 crore or more for every film he has produced for the past 20 years. Despite this, he charged a lower fee to the makers of “SVC 63” because his longtime and close friend, Rafi Kazi, is involved in the project as a mediator. Furthermore, Rafi is also included among the film’s primary producers.
Profit sharing and the story of old generosity
As for the film’s profits or profit sharing, no official or clear information has yet been released. Sources also say that no concrete information has yet emerged regarding any back-end deals or profit sharing. However, this isn’t the first time Salman Khan has charged a reduced fee or shown generosity for a project.
Salman Khan has previously acted in several films for which he didn’t charge a single penny. He has also made special appearances and brilliant cameos in films like Riteish Deshmukh’s Marathi film “Raja Shivaji” without charging a dime, in addition to several Ajay Devgn films. Now, once again, due to his friendship and dedication to the project, Salman Khan has surprised everyone by reducing his fee for “SVC 63.”
