Ranbir Kapoor, who is known for his versatile and impactful performances, has reportedly taken a pay cut for his upcoming film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame. The actor, who usually charges around Rs 70 crore per film, has agreed to reduce his fee by more than half to support the producers Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who faced some challenges due to the delays in post-production and the rising costs of the film.
According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor is charging an upfront fee of Rs 30-35 crore for Animal, which is a gangster drama revolving around a troubled father-son relationship. The actor will get a share the profits of the film, if it does well at the box office. The amount of money that Ranbir Kapoor has foregone has been invested in enhancing the production value of the film, which is set to release in theatres on December 1, 2023, in five languages – Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
