Bollywood actor Salman Khan reportedly took only one rupee as payment for his role in the 2004 film Phir Milenge, revealed the film’s producer Shailendra Singh.

The film, which aimed to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, featured Khan as an HIV-positive character who dies by the end of the story.

Shailendra Singh, speaking recently about the film, stated that it was crucial to spread awareness about the disease, particularly among the youth in India.

Despite facing rejections from several actors for the lead role, Shailendra Singh said Salman Khan agreed to play the part without hesitation.

“Phir Milenge was a significant project, aimed at reflecting society and educating the public about AIDS,” Shailendra Singh remarked.

“Salman Khan voluntarily took up the role and only charged a symbolic one rupee.”

The film, directed by Revathi, also starred Abhishek Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty.

Shailendra Singh credited Salman Khan as one of the biggest youth icons in Bollywood, both then and now, for his dedication to the cause.
