Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn clarify film fee structure at leadership summit
Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn addressed rumors about high fees for films, clarifying that they only receive a share of profits if a movie succeeds. They do not earn anything if a film fails, which they believe is fair to producers. Rumors suggested Akshay charged Rs 145 crore per movie, especially after his film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' underperformed. He confirmed he typically takes a stake in projects rather than a fixed fee, aligning his earnings with the film's success. Both actors discussed their approach to fees at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. They emphasized that their charges depend on the project and its potential for recovery, rather than fixed amounts that inflate budgets.
