Bollywood celebs, as we all know, are also known to charge a truckload of money for their movies.
However, it’s not the case always. Once in a while, they agree to work without charging a single penny. Take a look:
1. Sushant Singh Rajput- pk
Did you know the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput didn’t charge anything for his role in PK? Yes, SSR worked for free for his small yet prominent role in the Aamir Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer. It is said that director Rajkumar Hirani had handed him Rs 21 as a good luck sign and also sent him several books on cinematography as a return gift to the late actor from his own collection.
2. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
According to media reports, Sonam Kapoor has worked in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag for free. Reportedly, the actress charged only Rs 11 as a shagun, that too, while promoting the biographical sports drama.
3. Nawazuddin Siddiqui- Haraamkhor
If reports are to be believed, Nawazuddin Siddiqui supposedly denied taking any money for this 2015 movie Haraamkhor, co-starring Shweta Tripathi. However, the director apparently forced him to take at least Rs 1, which he later did. The actor also took only Rs 1 for Manto.
4. Farhan Akhtar- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Yes, Farhan too didn’t charge anything for the ‘Flying Sikh’ Milkha Singh biopic. Like Sonam, Farhan also took only Rs 11 as a token of blessing for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The actor did an excellent job in bringing the character of Milkha Singh to life in this movie.
