When Irrfan Khan revealed how he had to slash his fee by half for 'Paan Singh Tomar'

Irrfan Khan passed away due to complications arising out of colon infection on April 29, 2020. He was suffering from leukemia. He was one of the greatest acting talents in the country that did many great films in his career. In an interview that has now gone viral, while speaking to Komal Nahta, he revealed how he curtailed his remuneration many times and was content in what was coming home. On Paan Singh Tomar Khan said, “I had to slash by fees by half for the film. The producers said they’d be able to make the film only if I reduce by remuneration by 50%. There have been many instances when I was paid only half. You get that understanding how much your producer will earn, how much your film will earn, so you quote your price accordingly.” He added, “It’s not necessary that I should own a Bentley car, five cars, I had those desires but after a point, it stopped affecting my being.” Irrfan Khan, otherwise reclusive and reluctant by nature, could be seen having a joyous time at the 2016 Filmfare Awards that also had Shah Rukh Khan in attendance. In one of the segments that has been shared by the official Twitter handle of the publication, the late actor poked fun at SRK’s film Mohabbatein. Irrfan Khan was seen hosting the  Filmfare Awards back in 2016 when he took a dig at  Shah Rukh Khan’s film Mohabbatein, which also starred  Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in crucial roles. A skit, where he was dressed as SRK’s character Raj Aryan, was followed by a discussion between the two. Talking of the film, Irrfan Khan told Shah Rukh, “I have made (this act) on your movie Mohabbatein which I really liked. It earned a lot of money but you didn’t do much in the film. All you did was sport a sweater and play a violin.” This was followed by a laugher from Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan himself. It was directed by  Aditya Chopra and the second-highest grosser of 2000 after Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Irfan Khan passed away on April 29, 2020, after complications arising out of colon infection. Remembering him, Shah Rukh Khan shared a picture with him on Instagram and wrote- “My friend…inspiration & the greatest actor of our times. Allah bless your soul Irrfan bhai…will miss you as much as cherish the fact that you were part of our lives.” Read all the  Latest News,  Trending News,  Cricket News,  Bollywood News, India News and  Entertainment News here.
