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.
