The
overwhelming
success
of
his
movie
3
Idiots
has
meant
that
brand
Aamir
Khan
has
received
boost.
The
actor
now
has
another
reason
to
simile
after
having
bagged
a
whopping
Rs
35
Crores
as
a
part
of
an
ad
deal.
UAE's
telecom
giant
Etisalat
which
is
entering
Indian
market
has
signed
in
the
perfectionist
actor
as
its
brand
ambassador
for
three
years.
This
news
was
confirmed
to
a
daily
by
a
source
close
to
Aamir.
The
source
said
“
Aamir
has
become
the
only
Indian
actor
to
have
been
paid
such
big
bucks.
The
deal
had
been
on
for
long
but
it
was
only
recently
that
the
entire
plan
was
finalised." Etisalat
had
been
in
talks
with
Aamir
Khan
for
quite
some
time
now.
This
deal
puts
Aamir
much
ahead
of
his
competitor
Shahrukh
Khan
who
had
recently
struck
a
Rs.
10
Crores
deal
from
Dish
TV
for
their
latest
ad
campaign.
Aamir
Khan
is
already
the
brand
ambassador
of
several
brands
like
Parle,
Coca-Cola,
Tata
Sky
and
Samsung
and
the
latest
deal
puts
him
right
at
the
top
in
the
advertisement
industry.
