Guess Who: This Star Had A Major Fight Over His Pay Cut



Pinkvilla has published a blind item about a star who had a huge verbal fight with his producers over his pay cut.

This star thinks he is one of the top three stars of the country. But truth is that he is not even close. His box office track record has been patchy. His success rate has been very bad. At a time when the box office superstar’s movies average 200cr-300cr, his solo hero movies used to gross 40cr-50cr. It was only his last two movies which have done brisk business. But one of them was helmed by a top filmmaker & starred two other superstars. It is just his last film which has done record business & was a solo hero hit. It is more of an outlier & not the norm when it comes to this star.

The exec who okayed his 30cr+ pay clearly has no understanding about box office dynamics. As expected, he was fired recently. The other producers were right in not acceding to his demands of a huge pay hike.

His arrogance seems to have rubbed off on his wife as well. or maybe she always was arrogant. Although she is known only for being a celeb wife & has no identity of her own, she speaks as if she is the first lady of Bollywood. Some sources informed us, how the star’s younger brother – who is also an actor too is arrogant. Someone give this family a lesson in modesty & humility, please!

Blind Item

Little did this actor know that the Covid-19 outbreak in India will rob him of the dreams he had seen for himself after delivering a superhit last year. Yes, the Gen-Y star has struggled to see great days at the box office, despite being known as an amazing performer. He got his due with his last film, where not only was he appreciated for his brilliant acting skills but also raked in huge moolah at the ticket counters.

The film also got him good fortune, or so it seems. He, of course, charged somewhere around Rs 9-11 crore before the blockbuster happened and right after, his management made sure he’s paid almost three times the same amount. He rejected several big films and concept-driven projects, because the makers couldn’t agree with his remuneration. Some felt that it was a one-film wonder and the success of that project doesn’t entirely mean that our man has turned out to be a box office messiah. Clearly, our star thinks otherwise.

He got a huge deal on board – where he was getting thrice the amount he usually charges, along with a fair amount of profit percentage. The producers had mutually agreed on it and everything was fine. But the recent Coronavirus outbreak has put left everyone in utter dismay. The industry, at large, has lost over several thousands of crores, and the actors have been slowly asked to take pay cuts. Our star has been given a massive pay cut- to the tune of 40-45% and that news has left him fuming. He picked up the phone on the producers and had a major verbal fight, but was finally made to understand that this was much needed for them to proceed with the making of the film, or else they might have to shelve it completely. The last we heard, our hero has agreed, only on the condition that his profit sharing clause and percentage stays intact. Well, sometimes, if you’re a great actor, you just know you’ll reap the benefits from your profits, right?
