Jackie Shroff and Mahie Gill's remuneration for 'Phamous' will definitely surprise you

Actors demanding a whooping fee for certain projects that they do are not new. However, it is indeed rare when actors find a script so enticing that the remuneration hardly matters to the. And that is exactly what happened in case of the upcoming crime drama, ‘Phamous’.
It is quite a feat for a movie that is made on a tight budget to have such well-known and talented actors on board.However, it wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for these actors, who charged much less than their usual fee for 'Phamous'.
Speaking about the same, debutant director Karan Lalit Butani said, “I am really grateful to all my actors for having faith in me and believing in the film so strongly that they didn’t even think much about their remuneration.” He further added, “For instance, Jackie da charged just a little more than a penny for this film, if I may say so. What he charged my producers was marginal compared to what he gets in the industry otherwise and most definitely deserves. That’s the case with all the actors who worked with me on this film. All of them charged almost half of what they charge otherwise. And Mahie Gill didn’t even charge a single dime for the project.”
Set in the infamous ravines of Chambal, debutant director Karan Lalit Butani’s ‘Phamous’ boasts of some of the most renowned and brilliant names of the industry like Jackie Shroff, Jimmy Sheirgill, Shriya Saran, Mahie Gill, Pankaj Tripathi and others.
‘Phamous’ is a Karan Lalit Butani film, presented by Raj Khatri Filmz and produced by Raj Khatri, Vidisha Productions and Amitabh Chandra.
