Strange as our headline may sound, but one of the costs involved in making Om Shanti Om is the 5-crore white money fee of Shahrukh Khan (for acting in the movie). Shahrukh Khan disclosed this to India's leading trade journal.

Before our patrons question the veracity of the article, we clarify that even in home productions, prices charged by top stars are added under the expenses head for taxing and budgeting purposes. And it is the usual practice.

While 5-crores as remuneration may look like a heavy price for the also rans, given King Khan's stature today, it can be termed as peanuts.
