Imran Khan Criticizes Bollywood Stars' High Fees
Imran Khan, a Bollywood actor, recently spoke about how some big stars in Bollywood are asking for very high fees, which can make movies more expensive to produce.
He thinks this is not good because it can make the movies less profitable.
He praised Aamir Khan for taking a different approach, where he takes less money upfront and more if the movie does well.
Imran believes actors should care more about the success of the movie and not just their own money.
Other big stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan also use this profit-sharing model.
Some directors and producers agree that this helps keep movie budgets under control.
