Salman Khan has been a part of the reality show Bigg Boss since 2010 as he resumes his position as host every year.
According to a Mid-Day report this year, however, the monetary bar has been raised as Salman Khan is to apparently be paid 20 crores INR per episode making him around 450 crores INR richer by the end of season 14.
“Salman had reportedly charged R15.5 crore per episode last year. This time around, he has upped the price to R20 crore per episode. While the three-month stint works out to R480 crore, the makers and he agreed to seal the deal at R450 crore. The amount is inclusive of his fees for promos and virtual press conferences. The producers at Endemol are willing to pay the remuneration as they know Salman is the primary reason for the show’s high TRPs,” a source spills the beans.
The source also adds, “The previous edition was extended by 10 episodes, with the actor charging R7.5 crore per day. If the reality show doesn’t conclude this time within the agreed 12 weeks, Salman’s team and the producers will sit down to discuss the additional remuneration.”
For the shoot, Salman is reportedly all prepped to be headed to Goregaon’s Film City every Saturday.
As for giving us a little sneak peek for as to what can be expected from this year’s Bigg Boss season 14, the source includes, “Some social media influencers, including YouTube and former TikTok stars, are being roped in as contestants. Previous Bigg Boss participants Siddharth Shukla, Rashami Desai and Shehnaaz Gill also make an appearance.”
