MUMBAI: Amitabh Bachchan is earning in crores through films and brand endorsements, but his remuneration as a director in a listed company is peanuts at just Rs 2,500 for a full year.

In contrast, Amar Singh (a Samajwadi Party leader) got a whopping Rs 32.10 lakh for 2006-07 from the same company that the Big B is attached to.

The only difference being that Singh is promoter and executive chairman of BSE-listed Energy Development Co Ltd (EDCL), while Bachchan is a non-executive director, according to the information available with stock exchanges.

However, when it comes to the shareholding in EDCL, Bachchan's holding is worth over Rs 18 crore, against about Rs 9-crore shares lying with Singh and his wife.

Singh's wife Pankaja Kumari Singh, also a promoter, earned Rs 10,000 for being a director in the same company.
