Ayushmann Khurrana reveals charging Re 1 for Andhadhun
Imagine an actor who really believed in a movie, so much so that he said, 'Just pay me 1 Rupee to act in it!'
That's what Ayushmann Khurrana did for the film Andhadhun.
Instead of taking a lot of money upfront, he decided to share in the movie's profits if it did well.
This plan worked out because Andhadhun became a huge hit, especially in a faraway place called China.
This way, the actor could make more money if the movie was successful, which is like a lottery win.
Many other big stars also use this trick, where they become part of the movie's success by sharing in the profits instead of just taking a big salary first.
Ayushmann Khurrana revealed he charged Re 1 for the film Andhadhun.
This decision was made before the film's release, with an agreement for profit sharing.
The actor stated he doesn't know how many times he has raised his fee in 13 years.
Andhadhun became a blockbuster, particularly successful in China.
Khurrana hinted at backend deals where actors participate in film profits instead of just upfront fees.
