Nawazuddin Siddiqui has taken a dig at Bollywood stars who charge a huge fee per film. In a recent interview, the actor has said that the huge fees charged by actors drive up the budgets of these films, which end up hurting their profits. Nawazuddin said that such a model was not viable and actors should not worry about box office.

Nawazuddin spoke about the battle between art and commerce in the field of cinema in a recent interaction. There, he spoke about how the high fee charged by some actors makes film’s budget unviable and causes them to ‘flop’. While actors’ fees in Bollywood are not public, several reports have claimed that top actors like the three Khans charge over Rs 100 crore per film. This figure usually includes distribution rights and profit share.
