Main Hoon NaEveryone's wondering what the budget of MAIN HOON NA is like. Some say it's 25, a few put the figure at 30, while a few desk-job specialists have gone overboard in stating that the film has cost its producers 35 [ridiculous!].

You cannot make an SRK starrer within 10 crores in today's times. And if it's a...
...well-padded film like MAIN HOON NA [cast, locations, huge sets, action scenes, production expenses, special effects], the cost is bound to be on the higher side.

The question is, did the film go over-budget? Yes, it did. Originally, SRK and director Farah Khan had estimated that the budget would touch 20, but as the film progressed, the expenses did escalate and the final budget at the time of release was Rs. 24.70 crores, inclusive of everything.

“The action scenes add up to the expenses under normal circumstances and our film was no exception,” Farah reveals, “I knew that the budget might cross 20 eventually. But after watching the film, if a section of the film industry feels that MAIN HOON NA must've cost 30 or 35 to make, that's a compliment for me [laughs].”
