Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' proved to be an all-time blockbuster. The film made Babita Phogat a household name. The film did well at the box office and earned Rs 2000 crore. But, the producers paid a small amount to the Phogat family for the film.
How much money did the makers of 'Dangal' get? Babita Phogat recently spoke about the film Dangal in a media interaction. When asked how much money the Phogat family received from the makers of Dangal? So he said that it is less than 1% of the total box office collection of the film. 'Dangal' collected at the global box office around Rs. 2,000 crores earned. When asked if the Phogat family received ₹20 crore from the producers, she clarified that not 20 crore but even half of 10% of it, that is, around Rs. 1 crore. The deal was finalized at the scripting stage with director Nitish Tiwari's team even before Aamir Khan came on board as a producer.
Makers wanted to change the name When asked if he was saddened by this? So he said no… because then father (Mahavir Phogat) said that only love and respect of people is needed. He said that she became famous in every household not because of the film but because of the people.
