Mumbai: India's major entertainment channel Star India has signed a deal with Bollywood star Salman Khan that will effectively make the channel the only satellite vehicle for any movie he makes in the next five years.
According to The Economic Times, the 47-year-old star confirmed the deal, but declined to share details. The deal is estimated to be in the range of Rs 450cr to Rs 500 cr, the first of its kind in Bollywood.
The report said, the contract will include all his films over the next five years after last month's Dabangg2.
"It is reasonably long and big," said Star India's Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Gupta.
Salman Khan will do five films - Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick , brother Sohail Khan's next film, Boney Kapoor's sequel to No Entry , Dabangg3 as well as Sooraj Barjatya's next movie.
Star already holds a strong portfolio of Salman Khan's films - Dabangg, Wanted, Ready, Bodyguard, Tere Naam, Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya - for 7-8 years, and Dabangg2, which it bagged for Rs 50 crore for 11 years a year before its release.
