Salman Khan, who made his television debut with 10 Ka Dum a decade ago, is returning to host its third season after eight years. The game show is close to his heart as it connects him to the masses and was his first TV outing before he moved on to hosting Bigg Boss. We have learnt from reliable sources that the superstar is apparently getting a staggering Rs 78 crore for hosting 26 episodes, which amounts to Rs 3 crore per episode. 

The makers, we hear, are planning two seasons, albeit of a shorter duration. Says a source, “For a long time, Salman was keen on returning to this show. However, the channel wasn’t ready to shell out his asking price. But last year, both parties settled on a fee that they were comfortable with.” Now, they are also in the process of signing him for the fourth season.

The superstar has already shot for 10 Ka Dum’s teaser and promo, before taking off to Bangkok to shoot for Race 3. The teaser will go on air sometime next week, followed by the promo, where Salman will tell viewers how they can be part of the show — either by auditioning or from the confines of their homes. The show will have a second-screen format, which was introduced during Kaun Banega Crorepati last year. The idea is to make it more interactive for the viewers, who can answer questions on their mobile phones at the same time as the contestants. 

10 Ka Dum is slated to go on air in June post the IPL. Unlike Bigg Boss, where Salman appeared in the weekend episodes, this will be a weekday prime-time fare. “The makers are still contemplating whether they should air it from Monday to Friday or from Monday to Thursday,” says a source.
