Shah Rukh Khan walks away with 200 crore from YRF’s 333 crore profit earned from Pathaan

Shah Rukh Khan has made a stupendous comeback with Pathaan. Importantly it has also revived the ailing YRF production house that was in the doldrums after the back-to-back debacle of Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Prithviraj, and Shamshera.

While there have been massive speculations about the amount earned by the movie in India and worldwide, the latest report says that YRF earned approximately a profit of Rs 333 crore with this movie.

Interestingly, out of this big amount, Shah Rukh Khan has walked away with 60% of the amount which comes to around Rs 200 crore. This amount is the remuneration of SRK as nowadays, instead of charging a big sum as a paycheck, many Bollywood and even Tollywood superstars prefer taking a decided percentage in the profit of the movie.

The movie was made on a budget of Rs 270 crore. YRF earned a total revenue of Rs 603 crore from its Indian theatrical and worldwide releases and also with its satellite and digital rights sales.

Although big actors like Deepika Padukone and John Abraham were also in the movie, it was the movie dominated by Badshaah Khan, his charm and presence. The only moment when SRK looked a bit overshadowed or seemed to have got his match was when Salman Khan made makes his appearance on the screen.

Just as Shah Rukh Khan’s character, the hit song Besharam rang, the color of Deepika’s outfit in the song made the headlines, similarly, it was Salman’s appearance that also received a lot of hurrahs and whistles.

YRF has already wrapped up its next big-budget action movie Tiger 3 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif and will soon kick start working on Hrithik Roshan-led War 2.
