Khan’s earnings from the film had reached INR 1.75 billion ($27 million). That grand figure represented the sum of the actor’s upfront salary of 350 million rupees plus 1.4 billion rupees in profit participations earned from his 33% share of the profits after recoupment of Dangal’s costs. Khan’s $27 million in resulting pay is almost certainly the largest payday an Indian actor has ever earned from a single movie. ----------------------------------------------
