'Brahmastra': 'I didn't charge anything for the first part,' says Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor's 'Brahmastra' co-starring Alia Bhatt is doing wonders at the box office. Ayan Mukerji's directorial released on Sept 9, has reportedly crossed the 350 crore mark worldwide so far.

In an exclusive interview with trade analyst Komal Nahta, Ranbir Kapoor talked about rumours of him not charging any fees for the film.

He said, ' You asked if I charged anything or not, actually I did. This is an equity I have for life, I’m also part producer of the film. I am thinking more long term. I didn’t charge anything for the first film, but I have faith in what we can earn over three films, that is beyond anything I’d get as an actor, price as an actor.'

Director Ayan Mukerji also responded to the same question. He said, 'The truth is that the film has been made because of a lot of personal sacrifice. It is true that the amount that Ranbir would make as a star actor, he didn’t take anything for the making of Brahmastra. This is a very, very big thing, because it would not be possible to make this film'.

He continued that even Alia Bhatt was paid a ‘small amount’ for the role in the film. He said, 'When she joined the film, this was 2014, she only had a couple of releases. She isn’t the star that she is today. The amount that was fixed for Alia in this film was not a very big amount, but even that small amount, by the time we completed the film, even Alia said that all of it has gone into the making of the film.'

'Brahmastra' also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles.
