Bollywood actor Imran Khan revealed that the film he describes as his most miserable also earned him the highest salary of his career.
Bollywood veteran Imran Khan told the Hindustan Times that the movie he labels as his "most miserable" turned out to be the source of the largest paycheck he has ever received. The comment came during a recent interview in which Khan reflected on the financial aspects of his long‑standing film career.
Khan, who rose to fame with hits such as "Wanted" and "Jab We Met," has seen a varied box‑office track record. While some of his projects have performed well commercially, he described one particular film as a critical and commercial disappointment, yet it secured him a record‑breaking remuneration.
The actor did not disclose the film's title or the exact figure, but emphasized that the contract terms for that project were more lucrative than any of his previous agreements. His statement underscores how remuneration in Bollywood can be driven by factors beyond a film's success, including star power and negotiated deals.
