Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are top-notch actors who have repeatedly proved their mettle through path-breaking performances. Their stardom is not only limited to doing movies but also hosting several shows, appearing in multiple brands. Ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar told the media, 'He was looking for an actor for an ad video. Someone told him about Shah Rukh Khan and the actor quoted the ad fee of Rs 25 lakhs. However, Shah Rukh Khan was contacted for the same ad and was ready for the deal only for Rs 6 lakhs.
The reason behind the difference in this ad fee is due to Shah Rukh Khan had to buy a house and for this, he was running out of money. For this reason, despite being such a big star, Shah Rukh Khan was ready to take up Rs 6 lakhs. Prahlad said that he then went on to cast Mahima Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rai for the ad.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan has made history in Bollywood with two back-to-back blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan. He is now all geared up for his upcoming film Dunki, which is scheduled to release in theatres in Christmas this year. The makers recently unveiled the first look.
