Arbaaz Khan reveals Salman Khan is paid more than ‘his market price’ for home productions; here’s why
Despite Salman’s status as one of the highest-paid actors in India, they admitted to paying him slightly more than his market price for his appearances in their productions. Arbaaz emphasized that despite their familial ties, they uphold a high level of professionalism when working with Salman on set.
Arbaaz Khan says they don’t take Salman Khan for granted
In a chat with Timeout With Ankit, Arbaaz Khan. said, “Salman should not feel ghar ki murgi daal barabar. On set, he gets the respect of a superstar.” He added that they are really careful about not taking Salman Khan for granted, so he doesn’t end up feeling like he is being taken advantage of. “He should not feel that ‘because I am your brother, you call me before time, you make me do more work’. So, we have to be more careful.”
The Freaky Ali actor said they treat him with the same professionalism as others on set, recognizing his stature in the industry. He emphasized that on set, the Tiger 3 actor is not his brother but a fellow professional, deserving of equal respect. While he can take a few liberties with the Ready actor, that does not mean that he can ignore his demands.
Arbaaz further revealed that when it comes to compensation, they ensure Salman is paid according to his current market value, sometimes even surpassing it. This practice not only acknowledges his worth but also elevates his value for future projects. Whether it’s for films or commercials, they consistently match his market rate and often exceed it. He cited the example of Dabangg, where they paid Bhaijaan more than his market price, setting a new benchmark for his subsequent films. This trend continued with Dabangg 2.
He further stressed that Salman deserves fair compensation for his significant contributions. This isn’t a personal expense but a recognition of his superstar status and the financial stakes involved. This acknowledgment not only respects Salman’s worth but also aids in increasing his market value.
