Star hero paid Rs.38 Cr for an average movie!

Has Bollywood star hero charged a bomb for his recently released Hindi movie ‘Tamasha’? The amount was huge indeed for a hero who is reeling under flops. Whenever a star hero’s films flop back to back, the trade pundits can easily guess the dent in the remuneration of the actor. Sometimes, an actor might be considered for paying a high fee despite back to back failures if his talent outdoes the figures.

Despite the flops, the pay cheque of Ranbir Kapoor hasn’t changed. The film has collected only Rs.62 crores and Ranbir charged Rs.38 crores. Which means, more than half the earnings went to Ranbir Kapoor. These figures got revealed during an IT raid on the firm that manages the financial affairs of the actor.

The superstars of Bollywood are paid around Rs.50 crores or sometimes choosing profit sharing instead of remuneration. Ranbir is surely on their tract and going by his talent, a couple of super hits are further going to improve his range and take him closer to superstars like Salman, Aamir, Shahrukh and Hrithik.
