Salman Khan to get paid Rs 2.5 crore for 'Dus Ka Dum' per episode

Salman Khan to get paid Rs 2.5 crore for 'Dus Ka Dum' per episode: Bollywood star Salman Khan has become a sought after hero since the grand success of his last film Dabangg.

The star has also realized his worth and started demanding a fee hike for any television show. The Dabangg Khan has reportedly asked for a whopping sum of Rs 2.5 crore per episode to host money-churning show 'Dus Ka Dum'.

The earlier two seasons of the show was hosted by the actor himself but this time he will be very expensive for the channel. Salman has reportedly said that he would return to the show only if he is paid the said amount, which is almost 51% more than what he was paid for the last two seasons of the show.

A source confirmed the news saying that the channel earlier paid him Rs 1.65 crore per episode in the earlier seasons. But the reports are contrasting as it says that Salman charged only Rs 89 crore for the total 104 episodes of the first season. But the source said that the figure was only portrayed for media.

Salman seems to have planned to break all the records by any other Bollywood star by demanding this huge amount.

He is now hosting Colors' popular reality show 'Bigg Boss Season 4'. Sallu has already broken the records made by veteran stars like Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

He has demanded much more than his present fees for 'Bigg Boss 4' in which he is reportedly being paid Rs 2 crore per episode. However, this is a package deal, which involves various public appearances and other promotional activities.

We hope Sallu successfully breaks all records with 'Dus Ka Dum' this season!

Salman Khan back to 'Dus Ka Dum' on his own demand

Salman Khan back to 'Dus Ka Dum' on his own demand: Not the one to take a rebuke lying down, Salman Khan has finally made the broadcasters of the television show Dus Ka Dum kowtow to his demands.

Now, as the reports allege, Salman is set to return as the game show’s host for the third season, which will be go on air only next year. But what’s significant is Salman’s return to the show, which looked all but beleaguered in the flamboyant host’s absence.

As was reported earlier, Salman was set to host the third season this year, but the channel did not compromise on Salman’s demand for a fee hike. Last year, Salman had deliberately slashed his fee because the channel was reeling with the effects of economic recession. So the actor obviously did not take it kindly that the channel shot down his demand for a fee increment this year.

The result was that Salman bowed out of the show. The channel people obviously weren’t able to find a replacement for Salman. After all, who can match that charm, that spontaneity and those off-the-cuff wisecracks of Sallu?

Reports say that last week, the channel approached Salman again and agreed to do the show on his terms and conditions. Salman, too, did not show any airs and agreed to host the third season.

All’s well that ends well.
