Ayushmann Khurrana Cuts His Fee From Rs 25 Crore To Rs 15 Crore

While the business had struck a hard patch due to the pandemic's negative effects on movie attendance, several actors chose to reduce their costs. Ayushmann Khurrana appears to have changed the terms of his contract, joining actors like Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Shahid Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and others who have done the same.

According to a report, Ayushmann's salary has decreased as the industry undergoes a course correction as a result of Anek and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui's subpar performances. Ayushmann is retaining his price point of Rs 25 crore as a signing fee, but according to a trade source, “Ayushmann is maintaining his price point of Rs 25 crore as a signing fee but he has structured it differently during the pandemic to benefit producers. For films that he has signed during or right after the pandemic, Ayushmann has charged about 15 crores as a signing fee and the remaining 10 crores plus profit share is staggering basis the outcome of the film. This way, he ends up making more if the film is a blockbuster and his producers are also benefited as the entire cost of Ayushmann doesn’t come to them while mounting a project.” An Action Hero, Dream Girl 2, and Doctor G are just a few of the films that Ayushmann has in the works. “This is the smartest thing that Ayushmann could have done because post-pandemic, the landscape of cinema has become completely different." Added the source. "Actors and producers have to work hand in hand for the industry to recover. Such moves help the bigger picture as films need to be made in a cost-effective way across the board and when the film is a hit, the star can end up making more. It is a win-win for everyone.”
