Yash on charging Rs 50 cr and profit-sharing model
Yash is a very famous movie actor in India who earns a lot of money.
He is one of the highest paid actors in the country.
He does not always take his payment before a movie is made.
Instead, he likes to share in the movie's earnings.
If a movie makes a lot of money, he earns a lot too.
If the movie loses money, he loses money along with the producers.
He says this is like a partnership where everyone earns and loses together.
His two KGF movies earned almost 1500 crore rupees at the box office around the world.
His next movie, called Toxic, cost over 500 crore rupees to make.
He also once said no to seven movies because they did not give him a script to read.
Yash, reportedly one of India's highest-paid actors, charges over Rs 50 crore per film and works on a profit-sharing model.
His KGF franchise's two parts have collectively amassed almost Rs 1500 crore at the worldwide box office.
Yash revealed he rejected seven films early in his career because makers did not furnish him a script.
KGF: Chapter 1 was made on a budget of around Rs 80 crore, while his next film, Toxic, cost over Rs 500 crore.
Yash's production house Monster Mind Creations is co-producing Nitesh Tiwari's two-part Ramayana adaptation with Prime Focus.

Quotes
Yash
Indian actor and producer known for KGF series
“I never clarified it because I’ve always worked as a producer. I don’t ask for my fee upfront and then leave the producer to their own devices. I have been working in partnership for years, even before KGF.”

“I believe I should invest my own money, take risk, and work hard, and if the audience loves the film, then I’ll get my compensation. I’ve never thought of it as an actor.”
