With his latest film Ek Tha Tiger touching the 200-crore mark, Salman Khan has become the most sought-after star in Bollywood this year. As a result of his recent spate of blockbusters, Salman has turned out to be the highest taxpayer in Bollywood, handing out a sum of Rs. 8 crores for the September quarter. 

The 46-year-old actor overhauled the rest of the industry by paying a sum of 8 crores as advance tax in July-September this year, as compared to 5 crores during the same period last year.

In comparison, other celebrities have paid lesser amounts. While Katrina Kaif has paid 2.6 crores, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have paid 5 crores and 7.5 crores respectively. Aamir Khan has dipped a bit to 3.25 crores from 4.5 crores last year.

We hope the coming year turns out to be even more prosperous for Salman. He will next be seen in Dabangg 2.
