Highest Paid Male Actors of 2011!
A few weeks back, I watched a few year old interview of Veena Malik, where she claimed to be the highest paid actress of Pakistan. This is the time when the actress was hosting "Miss Dunya" on Dunya Television.
The interview made me think, and creates this piece of article after doing my side of research. The article is broken in 6 parts and soon you will know,
The highest paid actors
The highest paid actresses
The highest paid models
The highest paid old stars
The highest paid movie stars
The highest paid singers.
Today, we point out the highest paid actors. It must be mentioned that method of payment differ from actor to actor, channel to channel, production house to production house and vice versa. Some actors believe in daily payment, and some work on contract basis. The amounts given in the article are rough estimates, based on knowledge and research. The amount in case might vary, and TVKahani takes no responsibility whatsoever.
Noman Ijaz
Rate : 2.5-3 million
Dramas : Mera Saaein, Jo Chalay Tou Jaan Say Guzar Gaye, Ek Nazar Meri Taraf
No wonder we do not see this man often on our television screens. Considered to be the best actor for deep and intense roles; he is the highest paid actor of 2011.
He is said to be one of those actors who still like working on per day basis. Rumors are that, after the grand success of Mera Saaein, the actor was invited by a leading television channel as a guest in the morning show, for which the actor demanded a price that is unheard of, based on the time he was required to give.
Faysal Qureshi
Rate: 2.5-3 million
Dramas: Qaid-e-Tanhai, Ishq Ibadat, Ruswaa
Faysal Qureshi has always been a blockbuster star but his success in recent years has seen him become a very wealthy actor. Even though half of his serials this year bombed, he still pocketed huge numbers.
Considered to be one of the best actors in the industry today, who give their 100% to the roles, the actor rightly deserves this place. It must also be mentioned that he is one of the few actors whose paycheck changes according to the person he is working with.
Asif Raza Mir
Rate: around 2.5 million
Dramas: Roag, Qissa Chaar Darvesh
Asif Raza Mir, who also has a production company under his name (A&B Productions), is one of the highest paid actors. His exact amount is undisclosed, as the actor is mostly seen in his own production houses and rakes in big moolah as a producer too.
He is said to ask an amount between 3-4 million from other producers.
Fahad Mustafa
Rate: 2-2.5 million
Dramas: Mastana Mahi, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon
Fahad Mustafa is one clever guy,who is said to have raised his fee after the critically and commercially acclaimed Main Abdul Qadir Hoon. The actor is soon rumored to go full blown with his production house, and might also star in the serial. The actor has always charged moderately, and is respected for that in the circle, and now with some back to back hits he has built himself up, in every sense of the word, into a heavyweight star who can command big pay cheques.
Humayun Saeed
Rate: around 2 million
Dramas: Neeyat, Lamha Lamha Zindagi, Mohabbat Rooth Jaye Tou
If you don't ask you don't get, Humayun Saeed is a fine example of how true this statement is.Having been paid this ridiculous amount for the flop Mohabbat Rooth Jaye Tou. Clearly clambering onto his Doraha, and Ijazats success, producers must've thought his charm and rugged looks could draw in the ratings, sadly it did not. Why? It's too cliched now.
The actor's stock has seriously fallen over the years with the new crop taking his place. Seen mostly in his own productions, the actor appeared in Momal Productions's MRJT for which he was paid a very high amount.
Other than these top 5 stars, some others are also making big money like,
Fawad Khan (1.5-2 million)
Ahsan Khan (1-1.5 million)
Imran Abbas (1 million)
