Since a hoard of Bollywood bigwigs are hopping on to the small screen these days, guess they could get some motivation from Salman Khan as he’s already a rage on TV. Well, according to the most recent buzz, Salman Khan has been roped in by a TV channel for the third time for hosting the upcoming season of hit show ‘Dus Ka Dum’. And that’s not all, for ‘DKD Season 3’, Sallu has been signed on for twice the fee that he was paid for the last season of the show.

Sources reveal that Salman, who got about Rs 80 lakh per episode, for 25 episodes of the show last year, has apparently been signed on for an amount between Rs 1.25 crore and Rs 1.5 crore.

Confirming the news, sources from the channel told a news daily, “Salman will absolutely get more this year and he deserves it too. The channel at this moment, needs his support. His show has brought the channel decent TRPs and viable star value.

The ratings of most of their other shows are only just impressive. So, getting him back is the need of the hour.” The show is probable to go on air between July and August.
