He charges 1 million dollars for speaking every line?
Fans are also surprised to know how many crores the big superstars of the Indian film industry like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Prabhas and Akshay Kumar charge for each film. However, there is one actor in the history of cinema who charges the highest fees. Shah Rukh Khan–Salman‘s fees are also very less in front of this actor.
While it is difficult for supporting and side actors to get even lakhs of rupees, Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan charge crores of rupees for a film. However, they also have to speak long dialogues on the set throughout the day, have to give their whole day to shooting, only then they get such a huge amount in their hands.
However, among these superstars, there is an actor who neither has to put in much effort in dialogues nor in his role. He charges a million dollars for each line. Who is that actor, let’s find out.
This superstar who charges several times more fees than Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan is none other than Keanu Reeves, who played the character of ‘Neo’ in both parts of Wachowski’s film ‘The Matrix’. As soon as Keanu Reeves‘ stardom got a push due to the tremendous success of the first part of The Matrix, he immediately increased his fees.
According to a report by Ranker, Keanu Reeves charged a fee of $100 million for both parts of ‘The Matrix’. He does not have even a hundred lines of dialogue in both the films. This report also claims that he has received at least $159,000 million (13 crores) for a single line or a single word. Let us tell you that before this, hardly anything like this has happened in the history of cinema, where an actor has been given such a huge amount.
