Karan Johar's next film My Name is Khan is still in the initial process. But it is being said that Shah Rukh Khan, who will be part of the movie, is going share 50% of the profit. Shah Rukh however denied this.
"The little I know about profit sharing as an actor, I want to tell you that there is nothing like that with Khan. It is not true," says Khan.
He further explains, "I get surprised when experienced people from industry also believe in these reports. Here it is as straight forward as salary most of the times. When you sign a contract, you take your salary and go back home. Profit sharing and distributing money only happens when you are producing your own film like I would do perhaps in Red Chilies or Karan would do that in case of Dharma. But I don't think that I would sit down with Dharma production for profit sharing and not even with Yash Raj. Every production has their own way of making money."
SRK continues, "The point system works in some cases. If the film is low budget and they want to cast a big star in it they may say - Shah Rukh I do not have money to pay you but in case this film works because of your presence in it, you will get x amount of percentage as profit as you helped us to start off."
Talking about the system which operates in Hollywood, the super star reveals, "When you are really a huge star, then film star cast gets 2 percent, which is always there in Hollywood. This procedure is very common there. For example a big star like Tom Cruise will take his usual amount and x percent from the gross profit, which is a huge amount but the film has to be a huge hit like Mission Impossible."
Before signing off Shah Rukh informed us that he has not yet heard the script of Karan's movie. However, we got to know that he is going to shoot the film after he finishes filming for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The 45-day of schedule of Khan in USA is already fixed.
