Shah Rukh Khan Salary: A 2,500,000% Increase

Given Shah Rukh Khan's role in the big-budget action film 'The King,' his fee might be similar to his reported profit share for 'Pathaan,' potentially ranging from Rs. 150 crore to Rs. 200 crore.

For Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan reportedly opted for a profit-sharing model instead of a fixed fee.

It is reported that for his recent film Pathaan, he commanded a fee of Rs. 100 crore (around $12.5 million), which is the highest of his career so far.

However, it is interesting to note that this amount is significantly higher than the fee he received for his debut film.

Shah Rukh Khan made his acting debut in 1992 with the film Deewana in a supporting role.

For his debut film Deewana, he received a fee of Rs. 4 lakhs (around $5,000 at 2023 exchange rates).

In the same year 1992, for his film Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, he received an even smaller fee of Rs. 25,000 (around $300).

Despite this, his hard work paid off and he has become one of the wealthiest actors in the world.
