Profit sharing deals are predominantly used by Bollywood star heroes like Khans, Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar. Generally, these heroes demand 20-30 percent of the film’s profit and producers happily agree since a star’s image guarantee them minimum profits.
Aamir Khan however has now hit headlines by striking a deal of pocketing 70 percent of the profits of his new film, ‘Thugs of Hindostan’. After the mammoth success of ‘Dangal’ in India and China, no filmmaker is in a position to bargain with the Ace Khan, not even Yash Raj Films’ honcho Aditya Kapoor, who is bankrolling ‘Thugs of Hindostan’.
Coming to ‘Dangal’, Aamir charged 35 crore remuneration and also pocketed 33 percent of profit. Now, to leverage his newly found stardom in China, Aamir has reportedly put forth a condition that he would do his next films only for the producers who are willing to offer him 70 percent share in profit. Even with a 30 percent stake, a producer can earn to the tune of 300 crore, if Aamir’s next film performs on par with Dangal.
Also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Sheikh, Thugs of Hindostan will be mounted on a huge canvas.
