Sanjay Dutt - Signing Films At His Career Best Prices - Money Matters

The Munna bhai Sanjay Dutt is on a signing spree and accepting new projects at a price he never commanded before - a staggering Rs 15 crores/150 million per film.

Even at his new price Sanjay is now booked till the end of 2010 for 28 assignments, so much so that director Rohit Jugraj will be able to start his bio-pic with the actor only in 2011.

The new rate is thanks to good friend and colleague Suniel Shetty, who generously hiked Sanjay’s price when he signed on the actor for a multi-film deal for his production house Popcorn Entertainment.

Dharam Oberoi, CEO of Sanjay Dutt Productions confirmed, “It is true Anna (Suniel) raised Baba’s (Sanjay) price in the market. Before that Baba was being taken for granted price-wise by all and sundry. Anna was adamant about Baba’s price and started a new precedent by paying him far above what Baba got from others.”

He added, “Suniel is one of his dearest friends and responsible for initiating the remuneration that you’ve quoted.” Source
