Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest superstars in the world. During the course of his illustrious career, the actor has amassed a huge fan following, not only in India but also globally. During the span of his career, Shah Rukh has not only headlined major blockbusters but also has appeared in several films for free. One such film was Dulha Mil Gaya, revealed Vivek Vaswani.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Vivek recalled, “Shah Rukh said, ‘Vivek has come for the first time. I will do the film, won’t take any money for it.’ He didn’t listen to the script also, and he did the film.” Shah Rukh Khan had a 42-minute role in the film, and Vivek revealed that none of his parts were cut. “The truth is that the role was exactly 42 minutes in the script and it was exactly 42 minutes on screen. 42 minutes is not small. He gave us five days and we finished it in five days,” he shared.
“Exactly as we wanted, Shah Rukh did it. He didn’t interfere, he didn’t read the script, he was so brilliant, so convincing, he was outstanding, this is the truth,” Vivek added. Dulha Mil Gaya featured Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan in the lead roles.
In the same conversation, Vivek also revealed how much Shah Rukh charged for his iconic film Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. Vivek said, “He took Rs 50,000 for Raju.” When Siddharth asked if Shah Rukh Khan would have done the film even for Rs 10,000, Vivek said, “Yes. The money was pocket money, he was living in my house. But I would like everyone to be paid professionally and in those days, for a new actor to be paid Rs 50,000 was respectable, it was not small.”
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki. He will soon be seen in Tiger vs Pathaan with Salman Khan.
