Fahadh Faasil Says Producers Won’t Get Half of Film’s Gross
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit is a Malayalam film that earned more than ₹300 crore worldwide, according to the articles.
The articles give different totals: ₹326 crore and ₹332 crore.
Producer and actor Fahadh Faasil said the producers would not receive even half of the ₹300 crore gross figure people were discussing.
Gross collection is not the same as the money that goes to the producers.
The articles say distributors, exhibitors and international agents receive shares, and GST is deducted.
Faasil said he was happy and proud of the film’s success.
He said the achievement belonged to the whole team, including director Girish A. D. and producers Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran.
The film opened in cinemas on August 21 and later streamed on JioHotstar from October 2.
Fahadh Faasil said none of the producers would receive even half of the ₹300 crore gross figure being discussed.
