Corona must have heavily affected these stars now.

No matter its Salman, Akshay or Nawaz on OTT platform unless story is good no one gives damnn shit about their star power, people might click on the movie title link just because of these so called superstars but won't watch more than 15 20 mins if the story is not engaging.

OTT platform has given people the power to make actors with best acting and makers with best stories the STARS ...

check recent SCAM 1992 case, most of us never knew there was a person named pratiek gandhi , today he is popular.

OTT platforms will invest in stories which can engage audience, they don't need first day first show numbers like boxoffice. They are not dependent upon weekend numbers as the movie will be on their platform for years and years so no rush for huge initial numbers.

Look the case of LAXMI... it bombed terribly so now the platform is will think more than twice before buying movies just on the star name.

Coolie no. 1 was sold on loss by Vashu Bhagnani in order to stop further loss due to delay in release. So now it doesn't matter whether it is star movie or not. If you don't have story power you will have sell it for less.

I hope theaters never open ... so that we can save our money by not wasting upon those superstars movies which always turn out to be crap.

OTT works very well for smaller movies, which actually has some story , humor and good performances. Add some specific antivity to it people are appreciating more.

Same happened with south movies...smaller movies are doing well on OTT . Big movies with their constant tropes are pissing off people .

83 relive buzz died ...Ranveer's biggest movie slated to release in recent times, THAKT is shelved.

i dont know about non PR fandoms(actual fans who watch movies in theatre) , normal folks have no intention of setting eyes on a movie theatre anytime in the foreseable future.

so the best thing for anyone to do it stop making Big movies and selling them for exorbitant price and later cry foul when public reviews come out.

Fir to ye log bahut tax chori karte hai panama bacchan ki tarah aur gyan deta hain 🤔

They just lie and spread rumors about how much they're getting paid. It's all to create an image and fantasy around them and to get themselves placed on Highest Paid lists.

If Akshay is taking more than 100 crores from a film, what does it leave for the multiple other people and companies involved? Why would anyone even want to make the effort and take months to create a film when the profit margin for them is so low? You might as well just sit at home and put your money in the stock market and earn more. It's just not logical.

Who gives Varun 30 crs or akshay 117 crs🤣 they are deff lying😆

Such lies are spread to increase one's endorsement price. You can read in this article as well that since Kaka has started taking 30 he asked his brands to pay him more from now on.

This is some sloppy work

Not buying that Ashkay number. He might hit 100cr after profit participation but his films would need to make more. No way he's getting 117cr upfront or even 99c at a discount. The budgets on his films would be 150cr+ and then most of them would be designated B.O. flops.

Varun, Tiger and Shahid charge a sizeable upfront salary (believed to be in the range of Rs 20-30 crore) plus a significant profit share, Ranveer, whose upfront fee is in the same range, takes a marginally smaller share of profits.

Showing consideration for producers earns actors goodwill in a business where the former are frequently left bearing the bulk of the risk

Recent news had it that after War Tiger just raised his fee to 15cr and that he's getting 30cr combined over two part films.

Why would Ranveer take lower profits on the back end after taking a smaller fee on the front end? That makes no sense. Taking profits on the back end is sharing the risk. No profits, no % of profits going to the star.

The fees also depend on the film. Actors frequently take less in smaller budget films that are passion projects, some take nothing at all upfront and take on the back end if there's profit.

Exactly and Rajeev definitely doesn’t get anymore any first hand information. He just writes stuff that already is known or gossips from other websites and creates his own articles.

Meanwhile, the writer of one of India's most popular sitcom Tarak Mehta ka has comitted suicide due to financial problem.

Ranveer usually takes a lower upfront fee and goes into profit sharing, he did this for BM and padmavat, it helps the producers of the films because they will have more money to spend on the production of the film. He does alot of brand deals, so alot of his income comes from doing endorsements

Also from the article it seems the karan Johar movie with alia and ranveer is happening
