There is a certain excitement about big Bollywood stars venturing into TV space. Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and more stars have tried their hands in various shows and have turned out to be successful. However, when it comes to hosting of the reality shows, all the eyes automatically turn towards, the one and only, Salman Khan. Even before his extremely famous stint in Bigg Boss seasons, he first time entered the TV space through Dus Ka Dum. In no time, the handsome Khan became popular with his unique way of anchoring and now the show-makers are hell- bent on retaining this charm of the superstar on the show. Naturally, the fees charged by the Sultan actor have reached sky- high!

As per the reports in DNA, the 52- year- old actor has demanded Rs 78 crores for 26 episodes which makes 3 crore for per episode! "For a long time, Salman was keen on returning to this show. However, the channel wasn’t ready to shell out his asking price. But last year, both parties settled on a fee that they were comfortable with," a source told the daily.

The promo of DKD season 3 has already been shot by Salman. Interestingly, this year the viewers can participate in the game show just by sitting their homes through their mobile phones. The show is just following the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati's format regarding this.

Meanwhile, Mr Khan will be next seen in two mega movies, Bharat and Race 3. In the third installment of popular Race franchise, the Tiger Zinda Hai actor will be seen in gray shades. How excited are you for bhai's extravagant projects?
