Aamir Khan has always preferred to be called an actor rather than a star. The stupendous success of Lagaan whether Aamir likes it or not, seemed to have changed Aamir's status in the industry from 'an actor' to 'a star'. And if recent rumors are anything to go by than he may have just become the highest ever paid movie star in the Indian film industry.
The grapevine has it that after a gap of almost two years, the Lagaan Khan has now decided to take up Bobby Bedi's film '1857 The Rising' for an astronomical Rs 5 crore. Although the news is yet to be confirmed, it wouldn't be too surprising considering that Aamir has been approached for international projects which will fetch him a huge remuneration too. The film is said to be a start-to-finish venture which is expected to be completed in four months flat. Now let's just hope that film will turn out to be worth the money spent on it.
