Highest paid actors in Bollywood 2013

Bollywood is growing by leaps and bounds. There is no stop to its progress. Every year almost more than 150 movies are released under the umbrella of Bollywood. This Indian film industry is no doubt giving chances to the new and young stars to step forward and show their acting skills on the big screen. Bollywood also has the honor of receiving Oscar awards for several films. It had and has legendary actors, music composers and directors that create films what the audience demands. If the industry is booming so is its budget. There are actors in the films whose salaries are almost half of the total budget of the film they are acting in. And of coarse when an actor is introduced in a movie and it is a hit in the Bollywood Box office then his demand of salary gets high too. Some of these actors when they earn a lot also tend to be the producers of films. It is not that the actors are not working on their skills to be paid higher. Some of them have learned martial arts for performing stunts and others have dance classes for no actor can have a successful career without learning dance, while working for Bollywood specifically. On the basis of highest pay received per movie here is a list of the top 10 highest paid Bollywood actors.

10. John Abraham

John Abraham is a very well known actor and producer. He made his entry in Bollywood with his hit film Jism. Before coming to Bollywood, he was a very successful model as well. John in this ranking is still unable to compete with the highest paid actors of Bollywood.

9. Amitabh Bachan

Amitab Bachan is also known as Big B these days. He had been the king of Bollywood and had a very bright and successful career but from the past few years his role in the Bollywood movies as a hero cannot be seen. He had been charging from 1-1.5 Crores per day for side roles and guest appearances in the films.

8. Sanjay Dutt

Sanjay Dutt made his entry in Bollywood back in the year 1981 and had a number of successful hit films through out the career. He is also known as Munna Bhai for his most famous film. From last year you can see as a side actor and guest appearance. He has been taking 4-5 crores per film.

7. Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir is a young and talented actor. He started his career in 2007 with his film Saawariya. And from here his looks and acting skills were appreciated and these dyas he is being paid 6-8 Crores for a movie.

6. Shahrukh Khan

King Khan has ruled the Bollywood industry for many years. He is a renowned actor and producer. His films Ra One and Don2 were quite high budget films but the net gross was low. He is being paid 10-11 Crores for a film.

5. Ajay Devgan

4. Amir Khan

Personally I love this man for his brilliant innovative ideas like in the movies Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots; he is a man who is going for a different point of view in movies. His uniqueness makes him a hit. He is being paid 14-16 Crores per movie. And yet he has decided to appear in only one movie annually. Everyone is expecting that this time he is going to have another brilliant and impressive idea.
