He is a prominent and successful Indian actor with a net worth of $225 million. Aamir Khan is a filmmaker, actor, producer, and writer best known for his award-winning films “Raja Hindustani” and “Lagaan”. Mr. Perfectionist is his nickname.
For the unversed, he doesn’t charge any fee for his films. Yes, you read it right! We are not kidding. Mr. Perfectionist has been in Bollywood for close to 2 decades with a number of hits.
As per Hindustan Times, Aamir has a business model through which he does not earn before a movie hits the screens. During an interview, he had opened up that he stopped charging money upfront. In fact, he confessed that he doesn’t charge even a single rupee for his films.
In a 2018 interview, he shared: “I’ve stopped taking money upfront. I don’t charge a single rupee for my films. If a film does well, first the investment is recouped. When everyone is paid and the cost is recovered, I earn a percentage in profits. So if a film doesn’t work, I won’t make money. But no one should suffer a loss, I feel responsible for that.”
He further added: “He explained: “The model that I work on is, let’s say a film costs INR 100 crore to make. So all the cost involved – cast, crew, production – I don’t take any money. When the film releases, at that point I get zero money. As it starts to earn money, it goes towards the P&A (prints and advertising), which is over and above the INR 100 crore.
Then, the investment is paid back. Now, the producer has recovered his cost. And then, I go into the percentage of profits. There is no way the producer loses any money. So if the film sustains a loss, I don’t get paid. The first rupee I earn is when the costs have been recovered.”
