Rumour has it that the star is afraid of losing contracts
If the word in the ad industry is to be believed, Saif Ali Khan has offered to take a pay cut! Apparently the star made this offer first to General Motors whose car Chevrolet Aveo he endorses.
I am told that the company was keen on dropping Saif for some younger star. Afraid that he'd lose the brand, Saif is said to have offered to take a pay cut.
A little birdie also tells me that Chotey Nawab has made a similar offer to Lenovo and to all other brands of which is an ambassador.
Saif's going rate for brand endorsements is anywhere between Rs 2.5 to Rs 3 crore. But the funny part is that he isn't so much bothered about losing money as much as he is worried about losing face. A friend also tells me he has to match up to Brand Kareena, a very big task indeed!
Funny how recession hits all of us, isn't it? Even former royalty isn't spared, I guess!
