I was going through Kartik's Twitter feed and he tweeted
how he has not hiked the price despite the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 but
we see a lot of people hike the prices and you know and that acting fee
actually adds on to the budget of the film
what do you have to say about this trend of
actors and the fees and the budget
the impact on the budget
See it depends on the film
Today how the budget of the film is planned or the kind of films being made
that people want to see are larger than life
and to make such films you have to put in big money and all
so if the actors are supportive there are many who does
and Kartik is also doing that
we have another film that we'll tell you about where he supported us a lot
So that is very important in making big-budget films
If the actor demands a hefty fee then the producers will have to cut their budget
but on this day the kind of success Bhool Bhulaiyaa is getting
the amount of money that we put in the film's making
the actor also receives the results of its success along with the entire team
So I think the fees should be according to the film
the film that- or
there are many actors like Amir Khan who works at the backend as well
makes sure the film is made well
and if the film does well then everybody will benefit from it
or else everybody will have to do with a basic sum
every film has you know you also know that
If I make a lot of films
and not all of them be super-hit right?
so similarly not every actor will deliver hits after hits
like you were saying before, this film has set a benchmark for Kartik
So will it become a target for Kartik to make these kinds of movies
So I don't believe in that because
we made this film, Pati Patni Aur Woh It earned 92 crores at the box office
and we were happy with that as well
I talking about that only that if our movie
earns even 80-90 crores it's a blockbuster for us
So similarly when our next film comes we will be hoping
that it does much better than this the film that we're doing is Shehzada
but again even if it doesn't do better than this or earns less then
that's no benchmark or anything there is no comparison
People like the film, the content
at the end of the day the thing is
any film that we make actors should be supportive
And Kartik has always been like that
our next film Shehzada that we're doing, we were having some problems
He stood by us like I'm there for you guys
and we'll solve this together
He supported us financially as well
which is hats off to him
very few people do this
we have made so many hit films
and most of the times no matter what the budget of a film is
if it's successful then the actor will announce their fees
so that practice is
not good in the long run
it's not good for anyone
and if you notice,
whenever this kind of thing has happened in the past
the actors have faced problems as well like when people can't afford them
then they have problems lowering their fees
for example, Bhool Bhulaiyaa
It's a superhit now might be a blockbuster too
if our budget had been 15-20 crores more than it was then the film
would have been a hit instead of a superhit earning the same amount
so that counts as well
so like we said either the script fails or the budget, the film doesn't fail
If your script is not right then you'll fail
or if your budget is wrong then you'll fail
we've seen a lot of-
The numbers that we have some movies flop even after earning that amount
because of their budget
I have this film I won't take the name
It's a super hit film but I was at a loss
It was made a long time back
So that is also another economical issue
That was obviously because of the actor's fee and all that
we are happy now that we're only talking about being a hit
no, only the hits work
it's okay if it doesn't bring a lot of money in case of the hits
we are satisfied with hits we're getting a lot of respect
we are earning decent money as well
the important thing is the audience's love and appreciation
and the entire family have watched the film
kids have enjoyed this that's the thing that matters
Another huge thing that we've earned is that will be remembered even in future
there was a pandemic and movies weren't doing well at the box office
Bhool Bhulaiyaa broke that streak and hopefully it remains that way
people keep coming to the theatres for every film
