Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ has collected approximately Rs. 297 crore and is moving towards 300 crore. However, it is said that YRF is giving fake collections and much lower figures than what the film has collected.
Salman’s fans are blaming YRF’s head honcho, Aditya Chopra for this. They had even started a trend with the hashtag – #YRFStopReducingSULTANFigures.
A leading daily has quoted a source, “Their deal is such that if the film crosses the 300 crore figure Salman would get a big chunk of partnership. When Adi approached Salman for ‘Sultan’, the star was quite clear he wanted the same deal as Aamir Khan (for ‘Dhoom 3’) and Shah Rukh Khan (for ‘Fan’) got — a 80-20 profit-sharing ratio. Adi had agreed because top stars like Aamir, SRK and Salman, rake in the big bucks. But showing lower figures means lesser profits for Salman. For ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, too, YRF stopped at the Rs 199.6 crore mark when everyone in the trade knew it had crossed the Rs 200 crore mark.’’
