Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is on track to earn one of the biggest single-movie paydays ever for a non-Hollywood actor. Even before this May, when his family sports drama Dangal became a box office sensation across China, it had been widely reported in Indian media that Khan’s earnings from the film had reached INR 1.75 billion ($27 million). Khan’s $27 million in resulting pay is almost certainly the largest payday an Indian actor has ever earned from a single movie. Assuming that Dangal’s licensors (Disney and UTV) receive the standard 25% revenue share from China, or $46 million, that would translate into a $15.3 million (INR 100 Crore) China payday for Khan. When added to his prior $27 million cut, that adds up to $42 million for one film.
