The impact of global financial crunch is starting to tell on one of world's largest entertainment industry, Bollywood. And the fallout of the impact is none other than Bollywood's biggest hunk, Salman Khan.
Salman Khan has reportedly walked out a T-Series production after refusing to cut his acting fees. Salman was first offered a whopping sum of Rs 50 crores for a film to be produced by T-Series and directed by Anees Bazmee.
Feeling the pinch of the economy slowdown, Bhushan Kumar, head of T-Series, approached Salman Khan, asking him for a reduction in his fees. Salman Khan agreed to take a pay cut of Rs 10 crores, which made his fee at Rs 40 Crore. However, when Bhushan Kumar requested Salman for a further price cut, Salman flatly refused to do so. Bhushan Kumar had to ultimately take the cruel decision of replacing Salman Khan with another actor, who would be ready to work at a much cheaper rate.
