Kartik Aaryan was paid Rs 20 cr for 10 days of shoot during pandemic, shares Salman Khan’s feedback

Actor Kartik Aaryan, who recently featured on the latest episode of ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, has talked about his fees during the initial days of his career and how he dubs himself as a ‘shehzada’ of Bollywood.

Kartik, who was paid ₹1.25 lakh in his first film ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnaama’ (2011), confirmed earning ₹20 crore for a movie which he filmed during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He also explained why he deserved the remuneration as he called himself the 'Shehzada (prince)' of Bollywood.

Kartik was told by journalist Rajat Sharma that he had become 'so obsessed' with himself that after earning 'sava lakh ( ₹1.25 lakh)' in his first film (Pyaar Ka Punchnaama), he was now asking for ₹20 crore. He replied, ‘Woh to dus din ke hain (This was for 10 days).’

When he said he was joking, the host said in Hindi, ‘No, you are not joking. For the film you shot during Covid-19 pandemic in 10 days, you took ₹20 crore.’

Kartik then replied, ‘Sir yeh kiya tha corona ke time pe, par kya mein aise dicuss kar sakta hoon apni fees, mujhe nahi pata. Par haan woh ek film (Dhamaka) aise bani aur dus din ka shoot tha uska. Woh mera remuneration tha aur main dus din mein kya, bees din mein paise double kar deta hoon apne producers ke, toh banta hai (Yes, during the Covid-19 pandemic I had shot for the film for 10 days and that was my remuneration. I make my producers earn double the money in 20 days, so I think I deserve what I am paid).’

Earlier, it was reported that Kartik Aaryan was paid Rs 20 crore for only 10 days of work in filmmaker Ram Madhvani’s ‘Dhamaka’ that released in 2021.

Karthik was also told that he said started acting like he was 'hero number one' after the massive success of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. To which the actor responded in Hindi, ‘I have always seen myself as no. 1, slowly people are also getting to know that and are seeing me like that. But the audience's love is what matters the most to me. I am desperate for their love and only for that am I obsessesed with myself and want to give hit films... there's only one Shehzada (prince) in the film industry.’

On the show, Kartik also shared the feedback Salman Khan had given him on success and failure. Salman had told Kartik, ‘Jab sabki hit ho rahi hoti hai, aur tumhari hit ho toh maza nahi aata, jab sabki flop ho rahi hai aur tumhari hit ho gayi toh history ho jaati hai (When everyone else’s films are hits and you are also giving a hit then it’s not that fun, but when everyone else is giving flop films and yours is a hit, then it makes history).’

Kartik was last seen in Disney + Hotstar film ‘Freddy’ alongside Alaya F.
