It hurts me that to see that to do such a simple show like this and to get everybody's attention we need to pay such big amount of money to one person. Of course he is greedy otherwise why would he do it. he is after all the titles. Biggest paid, most popular TV star etc. It ultimately boils down to who beats Salman Khan, Amitabh bachchan, Akshay Kumar etc for per episode price.
This is not the first time we are seeing a show like this. So it is a shame that unless people like Amir Khan speak we do not listen
.
You thoughts show what preset mindset you have. He made this show to get attention and out of greed? Greed is when you are doing nothing for others, only making money yourself, or getting limelight, but offering nothing for others! This show is raising funds for NGOs working on this issue through donations, SMSes (money from each SMS will be donated to NGOs) and online clicks! Check Satyamev Jayate site for details if you know nothing!
He already has many titles to his name. And is highest paid actor in films and ad world.
And you say it is not first time we are seeing a show like this? Really? Tell me which show has had such outreach? Which show also raises funds for organisations working on issues? Which show also does follow up of each episode and each issue raised? NONE! All only debate and leave it! All are either on Hindi channel or English channel! Not available in all languages neither screened in rural areas!
This is the first show which will be shown in remote rural areas too - where people don't have TV! They will be given TVs for community viewing of this show! Who is bearing those expenses? Aamir Khan and STAR!
Aamir Khan is also producer of this show, not just host. He has to pay salary to his entire team also - that worked on research! Aamir himself travelled to remote areas of country to do research with his team. They have worked for 2 years on its research alone! So why can't they get paid for the work they do? Even NGO workers and those working in UN orgs get paid! How will Aamir recover the investment on this show then?
The show may or may not even get viewers for entire 13 weeks. They may never recover their investment. It's a huge risk for them not merely just another debate show!
If Aamir was greedy he would not have arranged to raise donations for NGOs through SMJ. He would have done a simpler show. Or done a movie! He charges 40 crore plus share in profit for each commercial film he does. Whereas for SMJ, he will only make 39 crores for all 13 episodes (if 3 crore fee news is true). That amount is way less than what he makes with his commercial films!! So what is greed for more here? In fact he stands to lose!
He has already risked his position for this show by taking breaks post a huge hit like 3 Idiots - just to make this show, lost prime years of his stardom (everyone knows a 50+ actor gradually finds no takers in Bollywood).If he was greedy he would have done more movies or some entertainer show than this! He's earning way less through this show than what he does from his films anyway!
