- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,May 02 2022]
Amazon Prime Video's 'Paatal Lok' was one of the best web shows of 2020 and a huge credit for that goes to the lead actor Jaideep Ahlawat. Portraying an underappreciated Delhi cop Hathiram Choudhary, Jaideep gave a raw and gritty performance which had perfect combination of intensity and humor. The actor is now all set to return for second season of the show and buzz suggests that he has hiked his fee by 50 times after the immense popularity of season 1.
A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, One success can change the tide for all the actors. Our industry respects talent and success. Jaideep is one of the key reasons for Pataal Lok to succeed.”
The source added, While the actor was paid a nominal amount of 40 lakh for the first season, his salary has gone up by 50 times for the second season. He is paid a handsome sum of Rs 20 crore for season two of Paatal Lok. It’s a common norm to hike the actor fees with every passing season. But for Jaideep, it’s a success story of sorts, as none expected the tides to turn in this way, so soon.”
