Covid 19 pandemic was the darkest chapter for the entertainment industry. Many films had shut down or postponed its shoot. The theatrical release of many films was put on hold. But all the actors came together and fought this darkest hour and did their bit to help everyone. One such actor is Ayushmann Khurrana. You would not believe he cut down his fees during the pandemic.
Ayushmann Khurrana’s many films were released and shot during a pandemic. He used to charge Rs 25 crores as an upfront fee for a film, he structured his cost for the benefit of the film and to help the producers. A source informed India.com, “Ayushmann is maintaining his price point of 25 crore as signing fee but he has structured it differently during the pandemic to benefit producers. For films that he has signed during or right after the pandemic, Ayushmann has charged about 15 crore as signing fee and the remaining 10 crore plus profit share is staggered basis the outcome of the film. This way, he ends up making more if the film is a blockbuster and his producers are also benefited as the entire cost of Ayushmann doesn’t come to them while mounting a project!”

Actors and producers have to work hand in hand for the industry to recover. Such moves help the bigger picture as films need to be made in a cost-effective way across the board and when the film is a hit, the star can end up making more! It is a win-win for everyone.”
