Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan debate over whopping star fees and entourage costs
Lot of talks have been going on over keeping movie budgets in check. To stem it, actors Kartik Aaryan and director Kabir Khan deems it a good conversation to have. The actor and the director believe that the discussion on enhancing star fees and overhead costs is heading in the right direction.
With Mr and Mrs Mahi falling short of Rs 25 crore mark on Day 7, Kartik Aryan, a leading actor went on to stress that the finances of a film need to make sense in the end.
The actor opened up in an interview with a news agency that there are many rights of a film when it releases. So you get an ‘x’ amount of money out of it. If the star value and the entire project’s value gives profit to the entire team, he thinks then the math adds up.
And if it doesn’t, you should take a cut. It’s a healthy discussion.
The director of Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan, revealed in a conversation that this conversation was the need of the hour since the industry transformed after the Covid-19 pandemic.
He went on to add that it’s a healthy debate and it’s getting a positive response from actors, directors, and producers. The audiences, their viewing patterns changed, their habit of coming to theatres got diminished. So there was this whole debate about that if that’s diminishing, what are the other avenues where they can make money from.
On the work front, Kartik Aaryan gears up for the release of his much-anticipated film ‘Chandu Champion’. Reportedly, the role of Murlikant Petkar, India’s first Paralympic gold medalist. Murlikant bagged an individual gold medal in the 1972 Summer Paralympics, in Heidelberg, Germany. He set a world record in the 50 m freestyle swimming event, at 37.33 seconds.
Murlikant Petkar, who suffered injuries in an aerial attack in the midst of the 1965 war with Pakistan and was rendered paraplegic, bagged the first gold medal for India in the Paralympics at the 1972 Games at Heidelberg, Germany.
