So you get an ‘x’ amount of money out of it. If your star value and the entire project’s value gives profit to the entire team, I think then the math adds up. If it doesn’t, then you have to, you should take a cut It’s a healthy discussion”. Kabir Khan who was also present with Kartik Aaryan in the same interview shared his two cents as a filmmaker on the ongoing discussion, he said, “It’s a healthy debate and it’s getting a positive response from actors, directors, and producers. The audiences, their viewing patterns changed, their habit of coming to theatres got diminished. So there was this whole debate about that if that’s diminishing, what are the other avenues where we can earn money from?”. Talking about films releasing OTT, Kabir added, “OTT stepped in as another large part of the revenue. But what happens is that at whatever point, the industry faces a little tough time and sees that maybe the recovery is not happening the way it used to, obviously there will be an attempt to control the budgets, Kartik agreed with his Chandu Champion filmmaker and added, “I feel the same way. I’ve been all-in in all my films. My whole thing is that mathematics has to add up. That’s the main thing. That’s also what sir was saying”. Kartik and Kabir are teaming up for the first time and the response over the first trailer is mind-blowing and fans are waiting for June 14, 2024.
