Shah Rukh Khan’s salary for debut film Deewana

Back in 1992, SRK made his film debut with Raj Kanwal’s Deewana, after already making a name for himself on television. The romantic drama went on to become the second-highest-grossing film of the year, and Shah Rukh’s performance earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.

For Deewana, the young actor, who was just 26 years old, was paid a signing amount of Rs 11,000 and an acting fee of Rs 1.5 lakh. The film’s success marked the beginning of his journey to becoming Bollywood’s beloved ‘Badshah’.

Fast forward to today, Shah Rukh Khan is among the highest-paid actors in the world, with his remuneration per film ranging anywhere between Rs 150 to Rs 250 crore.
