Amount Of Money He Wants For Each Movie: 1 Crore! That was just rumour, Shahid said. "I'm a practical guy with a modest background. I know the value of money and my value as an artist. I'm asking for a fair sum that won't tax my producers. Come on, I want to stay in this industry for a long time. In my low phases, people should remember me as deserving and straightforward, not someone who duped them simply because I was a success. Please, I'm not asking for Rs 1 crore. In fact, I haven't finalised any price because I haven't signed another film yet. I believe that if you do good work, fame and money will follow."
