In the film industry, the talk of star heroes demanding hefty remuneration is rampant, often putting immense pressure on producers. It's often noted that nearly half of a movie's budget goes towards paying the lead actors, leading to increased production costs. Recently, young Bollywood hero Kartik Aaryan made sensational comments about this issue, shedding light on how stars sometimes reduce or forgo their fees based on the movie's budget and the producer's situation.
Kartik's Insights: During the promotions of his upcoming movie "Chandu Champion," Kartik Aaryan shared his experiences and thoughts on the matter. He revealed that during the making of "Shehzada," he waived his remuneration due to financial constraints faced by the producers. He stated, "Before the discussion about star heroes' remuneration started, I did 'Shehzada.' At that time, due to insufficient budget, I let go of my fee. The producers credited me as one of them because I didn't take my payment. These things are rarely written about."
Industry Practices: Kartik emphasized that many stars help their producers by adjusting their fees or providing support. He remarked, "It's not just me; many stars think about the producers and offer a lot of help. Directors, actors, and producers all think about moving the film forward. Nobody wants to drag the project. If a movie doesn’t get released, what’s the point? No one says, 'I need my money no matter what happens to the movie.' Such an attitude would prevent the movie from ever being released."
Current Buzz: Kartik's comments have gone viral on the internet, sparking discussions about the practices within the industry and the sacrifices made by actors for the success of a project.
About Shehzada: "Shehzada," starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, is a remake of the Telugu blockbuster "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo." Directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Allu Aravind, and Aman Gill, the movie did not meet the expected success, grossing ₹47 crores worldwide against a budget of ₹65 crores.
Kartik Aaryan's upcoming film "Chandu Champion" is set to release on June 14, generating anticipation among audiences.
