Farah Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shilpa Shetty |
According to our well-informed source, "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is not giving enough returns to the channel, if the feedback is anything to go by." But it's early days yet, we said. "Early days, yes. But considering the money that the judges demanded and got, they were expecting results from the word go."
So what's the moolah like? "Farah Khan got 60 lakh, Shilpa Shetty took home a cool 70 lakh hand Sanjay Leela Bhansali signed up for Rs 1 crore and 10 lakh!" Our source further added, "Contestant Ajay Jadeja wanted more than a lakh per episode and uski khwaish poori kar di gayi. And the budget of the show is 12 crore. Aaj ke date mein Sony ko itna recover karna mushkil hai." Mushkil but not namumkin, we say.
