Cut 2 crore from my fees for Fanaa
Aamir Khan asks Yash Raj to slash his remuneration to make up for losses in Gujarat, where the film hasn't released after his verbal clash with BJP
Kunal Shah
Aamir Khan has asked Yash Raj Films to cut Rs 2 crore from his remuneration for Fanaa because of the losses the producers are likely to face as a result of the film not releasing in Gujarat.
This unprecedented gesture was made by the actor in the wake of the BJP youth wing's strong protests against the film, which ensured that Fanaa did not hit theatres in the state on Friday. Though there is no official ban in place, exhibitors across Gujarat have decided against screening the film in any of the multiplexes or single-screen theatres.
The BJP is protesting Khan's support of the Narmada Bachao Aandolan, but he has refused to apologise for his statement that the dam oustees should be adequately compensated.
"Aamir feels the controversy surrounding his remarks has affected the film, and he thinks he has disappointed the film-makers. So he called up Aditya Chopra (the producer) and requested him to cut Rs 2 crore from his remuneration. He said he did not want the film to suffer losses because of him," a source in Yash Raj who did not wish to be named said.
According to Gujarat exhibitor D Y Patni, who controls the maximum number of cinema halls in the state, "The film is bound to lose at least Rs one crore in the first week itself. This means losses for Yash Chopra."
Though Aamir Khan and Aditya Chopra were not available for comment, sources said the actor is estimated to have charged between Rs 4 and Rs 8 crore for the film.
Asked about Aamir's offer to slash his remuneration, the film's director Kunal Kohli said: "I am not involved with the finances, so I'm unaware of the remuneration part. But it is a very normal thing for Aamir to make such an offer. He is known to make such gestures, though I think Aditya may not agree to it at all."
Shatrughan Sinha, while criticising Aamir's stand, had alleged in Patna on Friday that the actor was "harming' the interests of the film-makers and other members of the cast.

To be honest with you, I'm a bit clueless regarding this whole Narmada issue. From what I read I think its cuz Amir is supporting the villagers who lost their land with regard to this dam. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If this is to be the case, then I believe that this is wholely and solely targetting an individual who is in favour of the party who is at detriment. Amir is doing a nobel cause here, evidently. If they want to go ahead and ban ghis movie in Gujerat then by all means let it be. I'm sure Amir will be least bothered about it. He even brought down his renumeration.
With all due respect but why is such petty issue like this is being made into such an affair? What about the people at detriment? They rather go all the way just to make sure that some stars will be brought out of jail and that movies will be left abundant, despite knowing the fact that this star has a history of violence but they will rather see that Amir's movie will not hit the cinema cuz of his nobel cause.
I know its the state government and it differs but in general context, isnt this a bit preposterous?
