Bollywood Actors who Lost Big Projects due to high fee demands
With millions of admirers worldwide, Bollywood is one of the biggest film industries in the world. With performers exacting enormous wages and fees for their labor, the industry has given birth to some of the most recognizable films and celebrities. The high fee demands of performers, however, have occasionally cost them important roles in movies that have gone on to become huge hits. Many performers, including Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, have passed up opportunities for blockbuster films because of their high wage demands.

Shahrukh Khan
Makers of the film offered the role of Sultan Alauddin Khilji to Shahrukh in the film “Padmavat”, but he demanded a huge amount of Rs 90 crores. That’s why the deal was not made and then Ranveer Singh worked in this film. It ran at the box office and earned 302 crores.
