The most controversial show on Indian Television Bigg Boss is going to air its season 16 soon. Salman Khan is also coming back with the latest installment of the reality show. And with him on board comes the rumors of his fee for hosting it.
Earlier, it was reported that the Ek Tha Tiger actor has demanded a threefold increase in his fee for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss. And since his fee for the last season was Rs 350 crore, many theories started floating that the superstar will be charging a whopping amount of Rs.1000 crore this year. But as per the latest report, all these speculations are false. In fact, Salman Khan has agreed to take a pay cut this time and is being paid even less than what he charged for Bigg Boss 15.
A report in in a leading daily states, “Bigg Boss OTT, the digital version of the reality show whose first season was streamed last year exclusively on Voot and was hosted by producer-filmmaker Karan Johar, won’t be returning this year as the sponsors aren’t interested in the same since the first season fell short of the expected revenue. Salman has reluctantly agreed to take a pay cut instead of hiking his fee for the next season.”
