AR Rahman was paid minimum fees for ‘Taal’

While speaking at the event, filmmaker Subhash Ghai revealed that despite getting a whopping amount from the record label Tips, AR Rahman was paid minimum fees. He said, "They (Tips) gave me a lot of money for Khalnayak, more than what I hoped for. I quoted a high amount so they declined. But they agreed!
