Who is the costly singer who charges 3 crores for just one song..!?
As far as the film industry is concerned, it is noteworthy that music arrangers and singers are receiving huge salaries at par with actors and actresses. In terms of cinema, in the late 1950s, the great singers of indian cinema like lata mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi were all earning up to Rs 300 per song. It can be said that singers are not well paid by any means until the top singers like lata mangeshkar and asha bhosle ask for higher pay.
But today the situation is different, the top singers of the country are paid in lakhs. Not only that, a few singers are earning as much as 20 lakhs per song. Especially Shreya Ghoshal, who is a top singer in many indian languages, earns around 25 to 30 lakhs per song. It is noteworthy that she is a top singer not only in hindi but also in Tamil. Well, then Shreya is definitely not the highest-paid. In fact, it can be said that Shreya is not even one-third of India's top singer's huge salary. Yes, as far as the indian film industry is concerned, there is a big man who earns 3 crore rupees for a single song. It is none other than music legend AR Rahman, who today earns around 8 to 9 crores for composing music for a film and around 3 crores for singing a song as a singer. As far as the indian film industry is concerned, he is the only artist to have won 7 National Awards in the music industry.
