The interesting thing about their salary was that every actor was offered the same amount which means no salary discrimination between them.
Isn’t sound interesting?
Because, in today's era, a star charges whopping amount for a small role which is just 8-10 times than the amount Mahabharata star cast received in the 80s, 90s.
There is no doubt that 3000 rupees were a huge amount during those days.
The Mahabharat serial cast was really huge and it was aired on DD National tv from October 2, 1988, to June 24, 1990. The show was produced by B.R. Chopra and helmed by Ravi Chopra.
