New DelhiProducer Siddharth Roy Kapoor is known for films like ‘Barfi’, ‘Haider’ and ‘Dangal’. Recently, he spoke about Bollywood’s Economics. In a conversation with CNBC-TV18, Siddharth said that when working with big stars in a big film, at least 30-40 percent of the film’s budget goes into his fees. However, he also said that now actor is cutting his initial fees and turning to take a share in the profit of the film.
Siddharth Roy Kapoor said, ‘If a project is big, then 30 to 40 percent of its budget only goes into star fees. The same thing happens in Hollywood. If Tom Cruise Top Gun: Mavement is doing, then a large part of the budget of that film goes into their fees. But this happens. Because that film gets tremendous opening due to Tom Cruise. The same situation is in our films. I mean if Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan are in a film, then the budget of the film is based on him.
Actors’ model to take revenge fees
When asked if the big actors are now cut into their salary, they said, ‘I will not call it a salary cut, but yes, now they are taking more interest in back end than the front and initial fees. This means that in the beginning to take low fees and then become a partner in the film’s profit. Later, this model will become more revenue-share based.
Take a stake in the film’s profit
Siddharth Roy Kapoor further said, ‘There is a part of it, which is already involved in the cost of the film i.e. the fees of the actor and the other part is the share of profit. Therefore, to reduce the total cost of the project, the fees early can be reduced. When the film is successful, everyone benefits. I think this method is becoming even more common now.
Makers and actors get profit
Producer Siddharth Roy Kapoor finally stressed that the trend of partnership in profit is increasing rapidly in Bollywood and it is proving more beneficial not only for actors, but also for the makers.
