Salman Khan starrer film Sultan has received tremendous success at the box office. The film's collection has grossed up to almost 300 crores thus breaking all past records. Though the film has gained so much prosperity financially, the records revealed are much lower to the actual ones.
Reports in media suggest that Yashraj film's is manipulating the film's collection amount. Salman's fans and followers have blamed Sultan's producer Aaditya Chopra for the issue.
Well there's a reason to all the mess being created with the film's earnings.
According to a report in leading daily, Salman had asked for a stake in Sultan's profit earning. So, the film's producer would have to pay the decided share of film's profit to the actor. So by lowering the film's profit amount on record, a lesser amount can be paid to Salman, thus keeping a major chunk of film's earning aside.
The report quoted a source stating that, "Their deal is such that if the film crosses 300cr. figure Salman would get a big chunk of partnership. When Adi approached Salman for Sultan, the star was quite clear that he wanted the same deal as Aamir Khan (for Dhoom: 3) and Shah Rukh Khan (for Fan) got a 80:20 profit-sharing ratio. Adi had agreed because top stars like Aamir, SRK and Salman, rake in the big bucks. But showing lower figures means lesser profits for Salman. For Ek Tha Tiger, too YRF topped at the 199.5 Crore mark when everyone in the trade knew it had crossed Rs. 200 Cr.".
Well, if this turns out to be true, it would be utter injustice with bhaijaan. Isn't it?
