The film industry has seen a lot of changes over time. In earlier times, big singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi also found it difficult to get ₹ 500 for a song, while the big actors of that time earned millions of rupees from a film. But today’s era is completely different. Now India’s top music directors are earning millions of rupees for a song and more than ₹ 1 crore for the music album of the entire film. Recently, a new music director has come to the top of this list.
According to reports from the industry to HT, music director Mithun is being paid the highest fees for the music of his next romantic film so far. The other things to the film have not been revealed yet, but it is being told that they are getting more than ₹ 25 crore for the entire music score. Mithun and the directors of this film have worked together earlier and their songs have been very hit before. He has been with him for almost 20 years and that is why the producers have full faith in him. This is the first time a music director is being given such a huge amount for the same film.
Before Gemini, Anirudh Ravichandar was the highest fee composer. He took more than ₹ 10 crore for the music of Shah Rukh Khan’s film Jawan, but later he reduced his fees slightly. According to the Times of India, he charged ₹ 8-8 crore for films like Leo and Jailor. Despite this, he remained the highest -grossing musician till then. Prior to that, AR Rahman has been India’s most popular and trusted music director for a long time. They charge ₹ 8 crore for a film, and if they sing a song themselves, their fees increase further.
The rest of the music directors such as Pritam, Vishal-Shekhar, MM Kiravani and Yuvan Shankar Raja charge less than ₹ 5 crore for a film. At the same time, singers have less fees, most of the singers take ₹ 15 to ₹ 20 lakh for a song. For a film, a singer is very low to get ₹ 1 crore, but when singers make a private album, they earn good money.
