Here’s How Much Tiger 3 Cast Charged For Their Part In The Movie

Shah Rukh Khan has shacked the Bollywood industry with two consecutive massive successes, Pathaan and Jawan, this year. However, now, moviegoers’ attention is focused on the captivating story of Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan. Notably, Tiger 3 has earned Rs 200 crore worldwide, cementing its status as Salman Khan’s most successful opening to date. Based on the film’s impressive performance at the box office, preliminary estimates suggest that it will soon surpass the coveted Rs 150 crore milestone in India alone.

In the movie, Salman Khan returns as Avinash Singh Rathore, also known as Tiger, and Katrina Kaif plays Zoya Humaini-Rathore. Additionally, Emraan Hashmi plays Aatish Rehman, an antagonist who is adamant about eliminating both Tiger and India from the international scene. With his directional skills, Maneesh Sharma made Tiger 3 an intense spy thriller, building on the success of Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).

However, with the release of this highly anticipated movie, rumors abound about Salman’s expected high salary for his return as Tiger. While Salman will most probably get a high salary for playing his character, questions have also been raised regarding the payments that Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, Ranvir Shorey, and Riddhi Dogra demanded for their roles in Tiger 3.

Let’s examine the specifics in more depth:

1. Katrina Kaif

In the much-awaited action-spy thriller, Katrina Kaif makes a comeback as Zoya Humaini-Rathore, Tiger’s wife and a former ISI operative. What is more special about her character is that this is Kaif and Salman Khan’s ninth on-screen partnership. A TOI article states that Kaif has reportedly received between Rs. 15 crore and Rs. 21 crore for her performance.

2. Ranvir Shorey

Ranvir Shorey has always been an acclaimed actor, having been a part of various highly acclaimed movies like Bheja Fry, Traffic Signal, and Khosla Ka Ghosla. Similarly, in Tiger 3, he plays a very crucial role as RAW agent Gopi Arya, who used to be Tiger’s handler. His character was also featured in Ek Tha Tiger (2012). For his part in the movie, he reportedly received a payment of Rs. 50 lakhs, as reported by Zee News.

3. Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi, a Bollywood heartthrob known for playing romantic roles, has done a phenomenal but different kind of assignment in Tiger 3. Hashmi was selected by the production banner to play the film’s primary antagonist, Aatish Rehman.

Although Yash Raj Films (YRF) has previously roped in many excellent performers who have portrayed antagonistic parts in the past, such as Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan, Emraan Hashmi’s inclusion on this list appears to be extraordinary. A report in Financial Express claims that Hashmi was paid between Rs. 7 and Rs. 8 crore for competing against Salman Khan in front of the camera.

4. Ridhi Dogra

Ridhi Dogra, a renowned actress who made Bollywood this year with Lakadbaggha, plays a significant part in Tiger 3. Following her collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Nayanthara in Jawan, Ridhi Dogra’s collaboration in Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, seems to be a big boost for her career. The 39-year-old actress reportedly received Rs 30 lakh for her part in the espionage thriller.

5. Salman Khan

Salman Khan is not only one of the biggest names in Bollywood but also one of the most highly-paid actors. His estimated net worth is $350 million (about Rs. 2,915 crore). For his parts in the movie, he was even paid more than Rs. 100 crore. As for Tiger 3, the movie’s box office performance will ultimately determine how much he gets paid. Yes, this is true! An ABPLive article states that Salman Khan would receive 60% of the action-spy thriller’s earnings.
