Yami Gautam says actors fees should be realistic: Not right if your film is hit but producers can’t recover their budget

Yami Gautam has said that actors' fees should be realistic, adding it is not right if a film is just called a hit, but the producers can't recover their money.

Yami Gautam has said that she hopes there will be fee correction for actors. She has said that there was a time, when filmmakers would mortgage their houses to make films, but corporate culture prevails nowadays in the film industry. ()

Actor Yami Gautam hopes there be correction in actors' fees.

Yami was last seen in the Netflix thriller Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga. The film is directed by Ajay Singh and features Sunny Kaushal opposite her.

Speaking with Dainik Bhaskar, Yami said, "I hope (there is a correction). Though, I have always wondered who made the structure of fees and other issues (in the industry). Now, the people paying hefty fees make the rules. It a corporate culture. Earlier, there was an era when individual producers were there. They even mortgaged their own houses to make films. That is how a few iconic films were made. Such was the passion of filmmaking at that time."

She added, "Of course, the fees of actors should be realistic enough to not affect the film's budget. It is not right that your film is a hit for the sake of saying so, but your producer could not even recover their budget."

Yami has since featured in several projects including Badlapur, Kaabil and Sarkar 3. Her recent films A Thursday, Dasvi, and Lost premiered online and received rave reviews all across.

Next up, Yami has the drama film OMG - Oh My God 2 that will star Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi in lead roles. The film is directed by Amit Rai and is a sequel to Paresh Rawal-starrer Oh My God that also featured Akshay. She will also be seen in Prateek Gandhi's comedy film Dhoom Dhaam.
