With Salman Khan banned dancing because of their condition trigeminal neuralgia and Aamir and Saif do not support the idea, Shah Rukh charges about USD 15,000 for a presentation and Rs 8 crore a performance at a wedding.
According to sources, his last appearance where such amount was claimed by a presentation of 30 minutes in a prominent wedding at the Madinat Jumeirah hotel in Dubai last Thursday.
"It was an invitation Khoory Hashem Ahmed and Mariam Othman, parents of the bride, where SRK agreed to do," confirmed Sayyed Rashid, who organizes most of the actor's performances in Dubai and is a family friend of the bride.
"It's not the price of Shah Rukh Khan. Even two years ago, he charged Rs 4 crore for a presentation and Rs 1 crore for an appearance.
And these days, anyone can shell out this amount of money, which is about the cost of a super luxury sedan. The problem is the time to show up. He's so busy that he just happens to people he knows personally. So unless you approach by someone with whom he interacts personally, he does not take his job, "said a source close to the actor.
Apparently, Shah Rukh received approximately 250 invitations for presentations \ performances at weddings last year but took only 10 of them. This year, he can not accommodate more than six, the source said.
