Hrithik is the highest paid filmstar on TV

Hrithik is looking forward to a successful inning on the small screen after his two previous films ‘Kites’ and ‘Guzaarish’ bombed at the box office.

“Only after biggest failures come biggest success,” Hrithik had said at the launch last month. About reports that he is being paid approximately Rs 2 crore per episode,Hrithik had said,”I thought I am paid well.”

But sources close to the actor claim that the Hrithik is indeed the highest paid actor on television. “He gets Rs two crore per episode. Whereas Salman Khan shot for his last TV show only during the weekends and would wrap up two episodes in a single day and take home a pay packet of Rs 2.5 crore,” sources said.
