Ranbir Kapoor Slashes Fee for “Animal” Film: Could Earn More through Profit Sharing

Ranbir Kapoor’s Shrewd Move in Bollywood

Ranbir Kapoor is making headlines not just for his on-screen charisma but also for a strategic business move related to his upcoming, “Animal.” Initially rumored to have charged a staggering 70 crore for his role in the movie. Now, recent reports suggest that Ranbir has adopted a profit-sharing approach by reducing his fee significantly.

The film “Animal” has been in production for two years, facing numerous delays. It has inevitably escalated its production costs. In response to this, Ranbir Kapoor decided to adjust his fee for the film, reducing it by nearly 50%. While earlier reports hinted at a 70 crore paycheck, it is now believed that Ranbir might have charged only 30 to 35 crore for his role, relinquishing the remainder.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Fee Reduction

Instead of banking on a hefty upfront fee, Ranbir Kapoor entered into a profit-sharing agreement with the film’s producers. It was produced by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Bhushan Kumar. This strategic move aligns with the current trends in the Indian film industry, where increased production costs have led actors to explore alternative compensation models.

Despite the fee reduction, Ranbir Kapoor’s earnings from “Animal” could surpass his originally quoted price of 70 crore. The film’s teaser has garnered immense attention and anticipation. It hints at a successful run at the Box Office when it releases on December 1.

Following Shah Rukh Khan’s Footsteps

Ranbir’s approach appears to be inspired by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He recently set a precedent with his remuneration for the film “Pathaan.” Shah Rukh Khan reportedly received an impressive 200 crore for his role in the film. 

Thanks in part to a 60% profit-sharing deal. “Pathaan” went on to collect a whopping 543 crore at the Box Office, solidifying the potential of profit-sharing arrangements for leading actors.
