Today if we try to list the most expensive Bollywood celebrity actor we not only think about what they are charging their producers per movie.
Because today, Bollywood celebrities are earning much more in Brand endorsements and TV Shows. Salman Khan said to have been paid 90 crores for the first season of his popular TV Show 'Dus Ka Dum'. And more recently in Bigg Boss Season 3 Amitabh clicked the deal in several crores.
Keeping all factors in mind- TV show earnings, brand endorsements, movies overseas rights - here is the list of top paid, most expensive and richest Bollywood Actors.
Apart from charging 5-10 crore per movie, both are endorsing biggest brands and products on small screen.
Akshay Kumar has become a craze in overseas markets but recent flops Tashan, Chandni Chowk to China and Blue have broken his string of back to back hits which took him to # 1 spot 2 years back. The recent hit, Housefull, however, may have given him an advantage.
His market value doesn't change much despite one or two flops here and there because he has huge fan following, Big brands in endorsements and his money making trump card - 'Dus ka Dum'
The Big B is still active in movies but he is making the most from small screen. He is doing the most number of brand endorsements and had got a huge anchoring deal in the successful realty show Bigg Boss.
Hrithik Roshan remains among the league of Top 5 most expensive gentlemen of Bollywood. He is also promoting some of the biggest Brands in the segments. Kites has got him a new impetus in eyeballs as well as endorsements.
