Leave Sunny Deol, how much money Dara Singh got for playing Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayana, it was Rs...
Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan' started on 25 January 1987. It ran till 31 July 1988. When the show came on TV, people would stand with their hands folded. This is the Ramayan, whose many characters were worshipped by people like God, but Dara Singh, who played Hanuman in the show, did not want to do this role initially. Ramanand Sagar made a professional wrestler play Hanuman in 'Ramayana'.
When Dara Singh got this role, he was 62 years old, so he refused Ramanand Sagar and said that a young man should be found for this role. But according to his stature, he was persuaded with great difficulty. The way he played this role, no amount of praise is enough for it. According to reports, Dara Singh got a fee of 35 lakh rupees for 'Ramayan.' How much is Sunny Deol charging for Namit Malhotra's Ramayana?
Sunny Deol is also charging a hefty fee for playing 'Hanuman'. According to reports, he is getting 40-45 crores. Which is less than his market fee. He charges up to 50 crores for a film, but this time it seems that he has reduced his fee for this film. More about Dara Singh
Starting around 1963, he frequently collaborated with Mumtaz, appearing together in 16 Hindi films. This duo became the highest-paid B-grade actors, with Singh earning nearly four lakh rupees for each film. His final Hindi film was Jab We Met, while his last Punjabi film, released before his health issues, was Dil Apna Punjabi.
On July 7, 2012, Singh was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital after suffering a severe heart attack. Just two days later, it was revealed that he had sustained brain damage due to insufficient blood flow. He was discharged from the hospital on July 11, 2012, with the grim prognosis that nothing could be done to extend his life, and he passed away the following day at his residence in Mumbai.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 5: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's film beats Aashiqui 2, crosses ₹150 crore worldwide
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 5: Ever since Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Bollywood debut film Saiyaara released, fans and critics have been comparing the film with Aashiqui 2. Interestingly, Aashiqui 2 is helmed by Mohit Suri, who is the director of Saiyaara as well. As per the latest update, Saiyaara, the YRF-backed film, has now surpassed the lifetime earnings of Aashiqui 2 worldwide. According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned ₹ 18.88 crore on day 5. While it shows a dip in earnings, it is too early to predict the business as these are live data from the website based on morning, afternoon and evening shows. The final figure will be out after the night shows. The show is also running late night shows owing to its demand. The total business made by Saiyaara so far is ₹ 126.13 crore in India. The film recently wrapped up its first weekend after massive business at the ticket window. Considering the weekdays, the film has held strong, maintaining steady footfalls in theatres. On Tuesday, Saiyaara saw about 46.39% occupancy. The occupancy was as follows: Delhi NCR and Mumbai continue to top the chart with highest number of shows and footfalls. Besides the metro cities, tier 2 and tier 3 cities such as Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow and Chandigarh, among others also registered strong revenue. Meanwhile, at the international box office, Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime business of Suri's Aashiqui 2. Aashiqui 2 starred Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. On Monday, Saiyaara raked in ₹ 151 crore as its Worldwide Collection. While its India Net Collection was ₹ 107.25 crore, its Overseas Collection was ₹ 23 crore on the same day. On the other hand, its India Gross Collection was ₹ 128 crore on day 4. The Ahaan Panday film is currently the fifth Hindi film to hit the ₹ 150 crore mark in 2025. However, the business made by the highest-grosser of this year is still far from Saiyaara's reach. So far, Saiyaara has also surpassed the lifetime collection of two Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 ( ₹ 144 crore), which released earlier this year. Recently, Shraddha Kapoor watched Saiyaara in theatres and wrote on Instagram, "Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe (I've fallen in love with Saiyaara).' Thanking her, Ahaan wrote back: "Working under you on Rock On 2, being assigned to fix your piano, the serendipity of assisting on a rock music film, to getting to be a part of one… I remember you taking out the time to speak to me for a few seconds, and your words weighing heavy on me.'
