Q. Are these fees going around of 40 or 50 crore for actors true not and who are the highest paid actors and actresses?
A. These figures are not true because Jodha Akbar at 50 crore is the most expensive film that has released till date and thats is including print and publicity cost so actual budget of Jodhaa Akbar is 43 crore just slightly higher than likes of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. So when our biggest films cost 40-50 crore how can a star get the same amount. Till date the highest pay of about 12-15 crore (including profit sharing) has probably been Shahrukh Khan for Don while for actresses Kareena Kapoor is picking up 4-5 crore per film today.
