    Shahid Kapoor takes Rs. 8 crore pay cut for 'Jersey'
  • Shahid Kapoor is setting an example for fellow stars as he has reportedly decided to take a massive Rs. 8 crore cut in his salary for the upcoming movie Jersey.

    The 39-year-old actor has slashed his pay to make up for the loss faced by producers due to the shutdown caused by COVID-19 pandemic.

    Notably, shoots were stalled earlier in March and restarted recently.

    Shahid had initially signed the film for Rs. 33 crore

  • According to a fresh report in Pinkvilla, Shahid had initially signed Jersey for Rs. 33 crore and a certain percentage in the profit share.

    However, keeping in mind the coronavirus-induced shutdown and the resulting budgetary constraints, the producers requested the lead star to take a pay cut, "to keep the project on floors."

    "They felt the film will otherwise go over-budget," a source said.

  • Quote

    He will still get a share in profits, though

  • "Shahid has slashed his fees by a whopping Rs. 8 crore and is now charging them (the producers) Rs. 25 crore. But he is also very confident of the film's success...So the producers have not changed his profit-sharing clause," the source further added.
