Sunny Deol charges ₹50 crore per film?
Asked if he has been demanding ₹50 crore for a film, Sunny said, “Look, it’s the producer who will decide how much to pay depending on how much he earns.” On being asked if a ₹500-crore box office collection means the hero can charge ₹50 crore, the actor replied, “He (producer) will decide how much he can pay. I will not say, I’ll do or not do. I do not work like this. I like to be in projects where I am not a burden.”
Sunny Deol’s fee for Gadar 2
When Gadar 2 began marching towards ₹500 crore at the box office, several speculation reports about the film’s budget and lead actor’s fee started circulating online. The reports suggested that the film may be scoring big numbers at the ticket windows, but did not make profits because of the huge investments involved. However, director Anil Sharma refuted all the rumours last month and told Lehren Retro that Sunny Deol ‘compromised’ on his fee for the film. He added that instead of paying huge fee to the star, they invested that money in the film’s production.
