Exclusive: Did Rajkummar Rao ask for 4 crore for a film?

Actors hiking their fee after a super successful project isn’t new in the industry. Similarly, after a few flops, anyway an actor’s market value drops, and so does their remunerations. But now, like Ranbir Kapoor who increased his ad fee after the blockbuster run of ‘Sanju’, Rajkummar Rao too has followed suit.

We hear that Rajkummar has hiked his fee to almost five times his usual price. A source says, “He used to charge around Rs 40-50 lakhs for each film. This was till ‘Fanney Khan’. Even after his glorious run last year at the movies and even though his last few films were appreciated, it weren’t breaking box office digits. But for ‘Stree’, Raj and DK got him at a higher price, somewhere around Rs 70 lakhs, whereas Shraddha charged somewhere in the tune of Rs 2 crore.”

Everyone knows that ‘Stree’ was completely Raj’s film and the 100 crore run too, is thanks to him. Raj is very clear about his price now. “He is now asking for around Rs 3.5-4 crore for each film, and is up for a bit of negotiation. But he recently refused a producer who was willing to offer him even Rs 2 crore, which is almost thrice his usual amount.”

While many might call it starry air, we think this guy deserves it too!
