In a throwback interview with Colors Cineplex, Kamal Haasan revealed that Shah Rukh Khan never bothered about his remuneration. Speaking about the same, Kamal Haasan said, "Nobody will believe it, they will think it is a story. It is not going to happen in future. They SRK is a businessman.. so am I. But the fact is.. he knew the budget of Hey Ram. He just wanted to be a part of it."

When the budget ran over, he did not even ask for his remuneration. And I keep telling him.. he says, "Woh rehne do." He did the film for a wrist watch."
