On December 14, 2007, Shah Rukh Khan made history. When the Bollywood superstar appeared as guest of honour at a function where the Gulf Finance House (a leading West Asian Islamic Investment Bank) signed a business pact with the government of Maharashtra, the actor reportedly mopped up a whopping Rs 1 crore as his fee. For Khan, charging a crore for an evening out is nothing new — he has been paid several crores for stage performances, both in India and overseas, as, reportedly, have Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan. However, no actor in Bollywood history has ever charged the Big C just to grace an occasion.
