Akshay Kumar’s latest film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, has sparked heated debates across Bollywood about the rising costs of star fees and the growing trend of maintaining large entourages. These discussions have raised questions about the financial sustainability of such practices, especially as the industry moves towards bigger-budget films. At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2024, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn took the opportunity to address these concerns, offering a candid look into how star remuneration and film budgets work behind the scenes.
When asked about the high fees and escalating budgets, Ajay Devgn provided a thoughtful response. He explained that an actor's fee isn't determined solely by their popularity but is influenced by various factors, including the script, the scale of the project, and its potential to recover its costs. According to Ajay, actors typically set their fees based on the financial prospects of a film.
In other words, a higher fee often reflects the belief that the movie has strong box office potential. He emphasized the importance of actors and filmmakers working together to ensure that the financial side of a project makes sense before agreeing to any terms. #AkshayKumar and #AjayDevgn talks about their fees.
They are right if Akki is producer and movies like padman and toilet did 300 cr+ worldwide definitely he will earn 100 cr plus per movie. And if he sign other producers movie like bmcm he might get nothing. Its proper business.
