India's highest-paid comedian, once sold eggs on street, then charged more than Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, used to scare heroes with his…, name was…
Names like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Prabhas, are highest-paid actors today, charging over Rs 150 crore per film precisely. These superstars headline mass entertainers, the genre that majorly dominates the box office. So, it would be difficult to imagine a time when the title of India's highest-paid actor was once held by a comedian. Well, today we will be discussing this talented artist whose impeccable films and hilarious performances etched his name in the Indian Industry forever. In 1960s, he wasn't just India's leading comedian, but also a bankable star in his own right. He was none other than Mehmood, son of Mumtaz Ali, who was a dancer and actor in Bombay Talkies. Mehmood's family faced severe financial challenges due to which his father fell into alcoholism and lost his career. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he became the sole earner of his family. To make ends meet, Mehmood did several odd jobs to survive. He worked as a driver, sold eggs on street, also became a horse-riding instructor and tennis coach. During this difficult phase, he managed to enter the film industry and stared working as a junior artiste. In 1950s, he made his name as comic character actor by appearing in supporting roles like CID and Pyasa. Following that, he led many successful films like Padosan, Bhoot Bungla, Johar Mehmood in Hong Kong, Bombay to Goa, and became the highest-paid actor in the country. Reportedly, Mehmood used to charge Rs 7.5 lakh for just two-week cameos in films at the time. Even superstars like Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shammi Kapoor were not able to cross this mark until mid-70s. The ace comedian's presence intimated heroes to an extent that they would reject starring with him in the same film. In 1996, he released Dushman Duniya Ka , his final directorial. His final on-screen appearance was in Ghar Bazar , a box office flop. The actor passed away in 2004, leaving millions of his fans shattered and heartbroken.

Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 3: Kamal Haasan's Film Mints Rs 28 Crore
Kamal Haasan's Thug Life collected Rs 28 crore on Day 3 but is receiving a lukewarm response at the box office. The film also stars Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan. Kamal Haasan's much-anticipated action drama Thug Life continues its impressive box office run. On Day 3, the film maintained its steady momentum, collecting Rs 28 crore across all languages. Mani Ratnam's Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Thug Life is unfortunately receiving a lukewarm response at the box office. Despite facing multiple challenges, Thug Life is putting up a determined fight at the box office. After a promising opening with Rs 15.5 crore, the film witnessed a sharp drop on Friday, earning Rs 7.15 crore which is a decline of nearly 54 per cent. Saturday saw a further dip, with the film collecting around Rs 5.84 crore, bringing the total to approximately Rs 28.49 crore in India. The Mani Ratnam directorial managed a 35.62 per cent occupancy for its Tamil version on Saturday. However, the film's performance has been impacted by a few setbacks including comparisons to Haasan's iconic Nayakan, a disruption in Karnataka due to a language dispute, and stiff competition from Housefull 5. Thug Life stars a fantastic ensemble including Trisha, Silambarasan, Joju George, Ashok Selvan, Nasser, Abhirami, and more. The music is composed by the legendary AR Rahman, with stunning visuals captured by cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. The movie's editing is handled by A Sreekar Prasad. A part of the review of the film by News18 read, 'Thug Life ends up becoming a film that is torn between telling two stories. One is the unkillable and morally ambiguous king who continues to defy death. This story of Rangaray Sakthivel is a stand-in or metaphor for Kamal Haasan himself and how the actor has stood the test of time. However, this is half-done as the film is also about Amar and his tragedy. The climax is supposed to complete the circle. Now, the 'shield' gets shielded but still, the arc isn't organic and the irony kind of gets lost in the immortality of Sakthivel." Before Thug Life hit theatres, Kamal Haasan promoted the film with great energy. He was especially happy to team up with director Mani Ratnam again after 38 years. Their last film together was the classic Nayakan in 1987. Kamal spoke warmly about the reunion during promotions, calling it a special moment in his career. As per ANI, he told the press, 'Every film is a challenge, especially when you add another director like Mani Ratnam and a story that is so interesting. Fortunately, he included me in the story's preparation. I gave him an idea. Most of the time I was getting vegetables and helping him make it more tasty. That's what I did. And that I call a true collaboration…We are both children of cinema, and that is how we see each other." First Published: June 08, 2025, 07:21 IST
