Aamir Khan will be paid a record amount of money for his next film 1857 Uprising.
He will be getting four times the amount of an average top grade Bollywood star for taking on the role of freedom fighter Mangal Pandey. Reportedly, around £1.2 million for the film.
The fee he is receiving is actually lower than the money he made from his last film Dil Chahta Hai, a flick for which he took the overseas rights as his price. It is estimated that he made close to £2 million for that film. This is perhaps why he only needs to do one film a year.
