In a recent interview with hitlist, Salman Khan had spoken about his Diwali release, 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' as "one of the most expensive films" that he has worked in. Supplementing his statement, a unit hand reveals that the film's makers have spent a whopping amount on the set lighting - around Rs 15 crore."Director Sooraj Barjatya is known to spend lavishly on set design and since his upcoming film revolves around a royal family, he made it as opulent as it could get. Lights were an important element of the set design and the cost of illumination over the 258-day schedule has come to somewhere between Rs 13-15 crore," adds the unit source. The film's budget is pegged to be around Rs 90 crore. She might be his opponent on the big screens, but Bollywood's superstar Shah Rukh Khan believes that Deepika Padukone's luck will still work for his movie. Earlier, Shah Rukh has said that Deepika is lucky for him, but while answering to a question whether her luck will still work, as their movies are clashing on the same date, he said, 'I can say yes. She is my lucky charm so it should work for me. However, it is a serious question because our films are coming together on a single day. Everyone from that movie whether actors or producers are my dear friends. So, I would want their film to meet success on box office.' The actor, who just turned 50 on November 2, feels that it is unfortunate that their films 'Dilwale' and 'Bajirao Mastani' are releasing on the same date at the box office. However, he believes that this period has enough business for both films to sail through.
