Who deserves to be paid the most?



Recently the news has come that Hrithik Roshan has received a staggering amount from Adlabs, thrusting him into the top fold of top paid actors in India.

Of course, Indian actors still get much less than their Hollywood compatriots, but Hollywood movies tend to make more at the Box Office too. But keeping to the topic in hand, we ask you (the readers of radiosargam.com) - Which Bollywood actor deserves to be paid the most?

Is it Hrithik Roshan post Krrish?
Is it Shah Rukh Khan for his consistent Box Office success?
Aamir Khan because he is creative and always provides a hit?
How about Akshay Kumar, who is currently making waves?
Maybe Amitabh Bachchan should get the biggest wage cheque, being the legend?

Remember, we are only talking about the actors here and not the actresses. We are not being bias - but we will open a seperate topic for actresses in due course.

Let us have your thoughts on who should be paid the most and why?

    I think it shouls be shahrukh khan because he has tremendous star power among all ages and amir khan should be right up there

    i believe the real entertainment for me is some real looking acting which only is shown by aamir khan and shahrukh khan but i still believe aamir is way better actor than shahrukh therefore in my opinion the highest paid actor should be aamir khan.

    Well, I still believe that Aamir Khan should be the highest paid actor because of his tremendous hit after hit and believe me or not..all of his movie that are coming soon will be hit for sure..because its Aamir. Second person in my list should be Akshay Kumar. His making waves since Waqt till now…all of his movies been hit or been appreaciated. Salman Khan should be the third highest paid actor in India.Although he didn’t win any best actor awards yet ..but he is the most secured actor in the industry.Not only that, his movies are always hit too….Why I didn’t pick SRK is that I had enough of his acting.His bringing the same style of acting and he have Yashrajs, Karan Johar and Farah Khan’s backup. Try to put him in other home production the movie will be flop for sure. And that’s the fact. Look what happen to Don, excellent opening but there’s no quality of the movie not like Jaan-e-mann. Jaan-e-mann deserves better than Don.Hrithik is too early to say…his doing only his dad movies. And he should be doing more movies like Abhishek Bachan. I think AB Jr should get pay more than Hrithik. His an excellennt actor.SRK…is time to retire now…ur time is up..New boys in the house now…

    srk and aamir right at top and who says srk oonly works with johars and chopras man they created eachother. see chopras were struggling before ddlj came even johars last film including agneepath and duplicate floped and then srk gave johars kkhh and that has just filled there banks then why we are always speculating about camps. they are family and they can work like them if they want

    I believe it should be the one and only legendary BIG-B simply because he’s the best actor in the whole milky way. He’s next to GOD, a gift to the art of cinema itself.

  6. Anmol on October 31st, 2006 at 11:56 am

    I think it should be SRK.. Believe me or not I live in an international place in US. Where people from all over the world comes and goes 24hrs. when i tell them, I am from India they only know one name from the nation and its SRK. they will say Do know him? i love his movie, this and that and lot.

  7. Freestyler on October 31st, 2006 at 12:52 pm

    I think Shahrukh khan deserve to be the highest paid ,cause he’s the best actor ,and has the biggest power in the BO

  8. Spartacus on October 31st, 2006 at 2:37 pm

    no ones ever thought of Sanjay Dutt……Don was a movie just for him…..If he wud have played the lead role….it wud have been a 100% hit…..He’s my man…..He rocks !!!

  9. Atul Mohan on October 31st, 2006 at 8:36 pm

    Shahrukh is the highest paid actor in India because of his Overseas clout.

    Hrithik Roshan has a 3 film deal with Adlabs but not at the rates they are saying, closer to the time the correct figures will come out.

    Basically Hrithik and SRK are on par in India and its overseas that makes SRK get to 2-3 crore more.SRK is at 8-9 crore while Hrithik is around 6 crore

    Aamir comes next but his popularity is limited to Mumbai and South but due to his problems with Gujarat government, his films are having big problems selling for decent prices in Mumbai and this has effected his rate.He managed 6.5 crore for Mangal Pandey but now the rate is about 5 crore.

    Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar come next in the 4-5 crore bracket

    Then you have the 2 crore heroes Ajay Devgan, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt.

    Then come the multiplex heroes Saif Ali Khan and Abhishek Bachchan who have seen recent success but due to their limited appeal they have a limited rate. They get 1.50 crore.

    SHAHRUKH KHAN.. He is the one actor who has proven over and over that he has the best power at the box office. His producers and fans are never let down. He is hard working and a very good entertainer. He definately deserves to be paid the highest. I am sure he already is being paid the right amount. He is a smart guy. Hrithik Roshan is also very hard working so giving him a high price is also justified

  11. gagan on November 1st, 2006 at 1:08 am

    Sharuck is a flopest star because he has not given a single hit outside yashraj & karan johar.His last films Swadesh,Paheli,KANK & Don are disaster.Shame on SRK.I openly challenge SRK that in your whole life just give one hit outside yashraj & Karan johar & yes one thing all yahshraj & karans film srk character is same.HAHA

  12. Raj on November 1st, 2006 at 1:12 am

    SRK deserves big fat zero because in last 4 years.SRK had delivered 4 mega flops.SRK is only god in chopras kind of movie.

  13. dewdrop on November 1st, 2006 at 3:23 am

    Honestly it’s who works hard in acting well and it’s obviously King Khan SRK.

  14. Anmol on November 1st, 2006 at 7:13 am

    where did you guys get the idea. that KANK and the still Don is floped? Do you guys read any news or watch any? Please Check the fact then talk. Beside go look at those money figure around how much money those movies made and still making.

  15. Thumbs UP on November 1st, 2006 at 7:19 am

    AMITABH BACHCHAN !! THE ONE AND ONLY

  16. aman dwivedi on November 1st, 2006 at 4:20 pm

    IT COULD NOT BE OTHER THAN MR. PREFECTIONIST AAMIR KHAN FOR HIS COMBINATION OF BOX OFFICE MAGNETISM AND VERSATILITY.HE IS THE ONLY ACTOR THIS YEAR WHO HAS GIVEN TWO 50+ CRORE FILMS.HE ALWAYS PROVIDES SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL MASALA FLICKS.HE DARES TO PICK THEM AND MAKE THEM HIT(RANG DE BASANTI AND LAGAAN).NO OTHER ACTOR IN BOLLYWOOD COMMANDS THAT RESPECT.
    ANOTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO TELL THE READERS THAT THE ENTIRE CAST OF DHOOM 2 WAS GIVEN THE PAYMENT OF 4 CRORES WHICH WAS CHARGED BY AAMIR KHAN FOR FANAA ALONE.THAT INCLUDES 1 CRORE FOR HRITIK FOR THE MOVIE,SO I LEAVE IT HERE TO LET YOURSEF DECIDE WHO THE HIGHEST PAID ACTOR IS.

  17. mack on November 1st, 2006 at 5:19 pm

    I PREFERED SHAHRUKH BECOZ HE IS THE SUPER STAR.And every body no wat ever movie he do there is money becoz he act superb no body can beat him might be after he retires.

  18. SHEZZI on November 2nd, 2006 at 3:00 am

    I SAY AAMIR BECZ HE GIVES HIS 100% TO THE DIRECTOR
    JUSS BY SIGHNING THE MOVIE ITS A HIT. NO OTHER ACTOR CAN GUARANTEE A HIT BUT HIM.
    AND SHAHRUKH SHOULD MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT AS AAMIR NOT BECZ OF HIS ACTING ABILITY HE WAS A GRAT ACTOR FEW YEARS BACK BUT I THINK ITS LOST IT IN HIS STARDOME
    BUT HE IS THE STAR OR I SHOULD SAY 5 STAR EVEN HIS FLOPS (KANK) R MAKEING 50 CRORE JUSS IMAGINE WHAT WOULD THE COLLECTION BE IF HI GIVES A HIT (GRAT SUPPORT FROM OVER SEA)

  19. cool on November 18th, 2006 at 4:12 pm

    Listen gagan and anti-srk fans…u guys are so sick..how come u dont read teh papers? DON and KANK have made the most money…biggest opening ? Di u keep ur eyes closed while reading..SRK should get paid most and then salman..aamir does same kind of movies,,he is jsut big bore…..fanah was the dumbest movie i have ever seen

  20. furqan on November 23rd, 2006 at 7:00 am

    I think SRK should be the highest paid actor due to many reasons. 1. His versatile and different acting style in nearly every next movie like Ashoka, Josh, Ram-Jane, Swades, Koila etc. I cannot name all of his hits movies because all are big time hits. Secondly he is the only man who is taking the industry out of Losses and giving biggest hits like DON, Main Hoon Na, Veer Zara. Thirdly in terms of business only his movies break previous records and my meaning for generating the business means likeness of the people. If people like the movie, they will come more and business will be more. Mostly other heros are flop. No other movie is doing good business like Jane-man is a flop, Fana’s second part is all garbage. Only this man SRK is taking the industry out of problem. He is the best whether his acting as gangster, lover, King, Servant. He is natural actor and no other hero is even near to him as far as acting is concerned whether it be amir, Hrithik, Salman or Akshay.

  21. cem on November 23rd, 2006 at 7:16 pm

    hi guys only SRK and amir knows acting other kiddo boys infront of these big actors ,Hirithick should start its own children show dont try to act in a film,his father knows how to make good bucks ,but he cant make his son good actor with his money….and of course big b is big but he is legend no comparison only dilip kumar is better then him…
