Katrina Kaif says the industry is yet to see enough female-driven films, which can help them ask producers for a certain fee upfront.
She shared that she has indeed faced the experience of being paid less even though she has worked with the creme de la creme of the industry.
The 32-year-old said it makes sense to pay certain actors that much amount because they have proven their mettle by recovering the money with their ‘X’ factor, but in the case of female-driven films, she said: “We have yet to see enough films that have guaranteed the producer that ‘x’ amount of money can be paid upfront to the actress.”
Katrina suggests it is best if an actress decides a fee and then have a contract with a clause that “if the film makes ‘x’ amount, then pay me ‘y’ amount. If the film crosses Rs.100 crore, then you pay me Rs.20 crore… You clearly state all these things in the contract, so that the actor and the producer, both are safe.”
