AR Rahman’s Paycheck is a Jaw-Dropping 1100% Fatter Than India’s Second Best Paid Crooner—Check Out the Top 5 Song Fees That Will Make Your Wallet Weep!

Oh Bollywood, tu bhi na, you never fail to amuse me! Our desi Mozart, AR Rahman, is not just playing the music game, he’s ruling it like a boss! From ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’ to the latest chartbusters, this maestro’s bank account is singing a pretty tune too! đŸŽ¶đŸ’°

Kitna paisa milta hai Rahman sahab ko?

So, let’s break it down, folks. The legendary AR Rahman is cashing in a cool 3 crores per song! And if you think that’s a lot, wait till you hear his rate for a full film score, which goes up to 8-10 crores. Lagta hai, money bhi inki music ki tarah, zameen se aasman tak pahuncha hua hai! With a jaw-dropping net worth of 1700 crores, Rahman is truly a ‘musical millionaire’.

On the professional front, Rahman recently lent his magical touch to the film score of ‘Chhaava’, currently taking the box office by storm. And hold your breath, he’s collaborating with the legendary Hans Zimmer for the much-anticipated ‘Ramayana’ featuring Ranbir Kapoor. Arre, bhai, ye toh sone pe suhaga!

Battle of the Big Bucks: AR Rahman vs Top 5 Indian Singers

While Rahman is in a league of his own, the other singers are not exactly singing to the same tune. Our melody queen Shreya Ghoshal takes the second spot with 25 lacs per song. Matlab, Rahman sahab ke ek gaane ki keemat, Shreya ke 12 gaane ke barabar! Sunidhi Chauhan and Arijit Singh are also in the mix, pocketing around 18-20 lacs each. Meanwhile, Sonu Nigam keeps it interesting with 15-80 lacs per track, depending on the project.

And for those wondering about Diljit Dosanjh’s absence from this list, let’s clear the hawa. Diljit and the likes of Mika Singh, Badshah, and Neha Kakkar rake in more from their solo albums and concert circuits, with Diljit charging over 10 lacs per song. Waise bhi, Diljit ko kya farak padta hai, apne fans se toh woh already dil jit liya hai!

Kiran’s Gyan:

Bollywood mein talent toh hai, par daam kaun laga sakta hai? Here, it’s not just about the sur and taal, but the moolah that takes the cake! So next time you hum a tune, pause and think — is it worth 3 crores? 😉
