Revealing some deets about Shah Rukh Khan’s remuneration for the movie (Hey Ram), during his interview with Colors, Kamal Haasan said, “Nobody will believe it, they will think it is a story. It is not going to happen in future. They say SRK is a businessman.. so am I. But the fact is.. he knew the budget of Hey Ram. He just wanted to be a part of it.”
The South star then further revealed, “A lot of times in interviews he said I just want to be a part of the film. All that he said..They say all these things to please each other. But he (SRK) actually did it. When the budget ran over, he did not even ask for his remuneration. And I keep telling him.. he says, “Woh rehne do.” He did the film for a wrist watch.”
