actors is a big issue worldwide. When
superstar Aamir Khan was asked whether
he would be okay if his female co-stars got
a bigger pay cheque than him,
he said, "Anyone who has the ability to fill
seats gets a bigger share in the fee. So the
day she (Zaira Wasim who debuted
in Dangal) will be able to fill more seats then
me I won't mind her getting a bigger
paycheck than mine."
"And that is not going to be determined by
her gender, it is the market that will
determine that. As a producer, I will want
her if she is benefiting my film, gender
doesn't matter. I will give her value, from a
purely economical point of view," said
Aamir, who also co-produces most of the
films he stars in. Aamir Khan also explained
that every film has one or two members in
the team, who become the point of
attraction for the movie-goers. "That is
what we describe as stardom. That could
be Salim-Javed as writers and Rahman as a
music director," he said.
Aamir Khan is currently filming Thugs Of
Hindostan, which also stars Fatima Sana
Shaikh, Katrina Kaif and Amitabh Bachchan
and is slated to release next year.
