It seems Salman's increasing prices have upset 'Dus ka Dum' makers, as scuttlebutt has it that the producers of the game show, who initially agreed to pay the price quoted by Sallu to host the show's third season, have decided to rope in either Sanjay Dutt or Anil Kapoor as the new host of the show.
Reportedly, the reason behind the fallout is higher prices quoted by Salman to host the show.
Recently, Salman had quoted a whooping amount of 2.5 crore per episode and even claimed that he would return to the show, only if the channel agreed to pay him what he demanded.
Salman quotes Rs 2.5 crore
Few weeks ago, when talks were on with the channel, Sony Entertainment, Salman had quoted Rs 2.5 per episode, nearly 50 percent increment compared to the previous seasons.

Considering Salman's popularity, the channel had agreed initially, but it seems to be re-thinking over its decision as recently they are in talks with Sanjay and Anil.
Earlier, reports claimed that Sallu had charged 89 crore for 104 episodes hosted in the previous season. But the current reports reveal, it “was a conservative figure portrayed in the media.”
Probably, Sallu is charging more than 'Bigg Boss 4'. Reports state that Salman is presently charging 2 crore per episode of 'Bigg Boss'.
It seems Salman is trying to recover all the losses that he incurred during his flops.
Who will host 'Dus Ka Dum': Sanjay or Anil?
If sources are to be believed, then after Salman, channel's first preference for host was Anil Kapoor, especially after he portrayed as a host of the game show, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' in Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

Apparently, both, Anil and Sanjay have not hosted any show on television till now.
Though nothing has been officially confirmed as who will be the new host, there are chances that Sanjay Dutt might host the third installment of 'Dus Ka Dum' as Anil will be busy shooting for 'Mission Impossible 4' during that time.
Interestingly, a little birdie from the channel claimed that the channel is ready to pay a whooping amount to Sanjay Dutt to host the show.
Hope this does not arise conflicts between Sallu and Sanju.
