Actor Jaideep Ahlawat has apparently hiked his fee to Rs 20 crore for the second season of Paatal Lok 2. He played the role of a cop, Hathiram Chaudhary, in Paatal Lok.An insider close to the development told Pinkvilla, "One success can change the tide for all the actors. Our industry respects talent and success. Jaideep is one of the key reasons for Pataal Lok to succeed. While the actor was paid a nominal amount of 40 lakh for the first season, his salary has gone up by 50 times for the second season. He is paid a handsome sum of Rs 20 crore for season two of Paatal Lok. It’s a common norm to hike the actor fees with every passing season. But for Jaideep, it’s a success story of sorts, as none expected the tides to turn in this way, so soon."
