It has been revealed that Shahrukh Khan did not take a fee from Yash Raj for his role in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
However he did not do the film for free.
Insiders said: "Shahrukh Khan, post the success of Chak De! India has made a rule of sorts for close friends such as the Chopra family, Karan Johar and Farah Khan that he will not charge them any money but instead opt for the stake in the profits that they offer.
"He had applied this rule for good old friend Aditya Chopra's just released Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and his soon to start film with Karan Johar, My Name Is Khan."
A senior Bollywood trade analyst said: "With Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi all set to do bumper business at the box-office especially in North India and the overseas market, Shahrukh may well end up taking home much more than his normal fees per film! That's a real smart move indeed of having your cake and eating it too."
