EXCLUSIVE: You won't believe how much Varun Dhawan is being paid for Street Dancer 3D
Varun has not only managed to create an impeccable track record for himself, which only has one miss in the last seven years, he has comfortably turned out to be one of the most bankable and hence, one of the highest paid heroes from the Gen-Y brigade.
Varun Dhawan is undoubtedly one of the biggest Gen-Y stars we have today. Time and again, the actor has proved his bankability with not just strong box office successes but also delivering with his performances. He has not only shouldered some masala action comedies, but also equally shown keen interest in unconventional cinema like Badlapur and October. Now, he's gearing up for his next big release in the Republic Day weekend next year - Street Dancer 3D.
The actor who delivered a smash hit with ABCD 2 is back with Remo D'souza for a new franchise that is currently being readied. The shoot has been wrapped up and the post production work is on. But an insider informer tells us that VD has been paid a whopping amount for the dance film. T-Series' Bhushan Kumar has bankrolled the project, which is touted to be the biggest dance flick to have hit the Indian market.
The source informs, "Varun is clearly going to be one of the highest paid actors from the younger generation. He is being paid to the tune of Rs 33 crore for Street Dancer 3D. The call was taken keeping his satellite reach in mind. His films usually work tremendously well on TV and the makers are also reaping huge benefits of the same. They plan to sell the satellite rights to a leading channel for an unbelievable price and the channel is okay with it because Varun promises great viewership on the small screen too. The actor has got a signing amount of Rs 10-11 crore and the remaining remuneration will be given to him from the money the producers make from the satellite and digital rights." Incidentally, this makes Varun the second in line to Ranbir Kapoor who took around Rs 40 crore for Sanju last year. But nevertheless, the track record that Varun has managed to keep in the last seven years is outstanding.
