Arijit Singh Fee Revealed: Arijit Singh's mesmerising vocals continue to enchant audiences. He is the voice behind countless heartfelt songs. Singh recently lent his voice to the poignant song, Dhun in Mohit Suri's love musical drama, Saiyaara. He frequently has sold-out crowds at his gigs, swaying to his tracks. Ever wonder how much he charges for a single performance? Music composer Monty Sharma revealed Arijit Singh's astounding concert fee per show!

Arijit Singh's fee skyrocketed to Rs 35,000 per song, flat, independent of production costs, the music composer claimed in an interview with Lallantop. "Everything has evolved over a period of time. Earlier, we used to make a complete song for Rs 2 lakh. This included an entire orchestra, which included 40 violins and a lot of other things," Monty Sharma said.

"When Arijit used to come and sit with me, he used to sit for 6 hours straight. Now, he charges Rs 2 crore for a performance, for a show. So if someone wants to do a show, they do give Rs 2 crore. Earlier, people used to hear songs on the Radio or on television; now, people have it on YouTube. So now the exposure has increased. With the emergence of OTT and YouTube, the money is humongous. So if I am doing a song for 15-20 lakhs, 90% of the rights audio company takes it. They are the ones making mad money right now," the Devdas composer said.
