Actor Yash Chooses South India Distribution Rights Over Rs 100 Crore Fee for Ramayana
Actor Yash has reportedly foregone a fixed Rs 100 crore fee for playing Ravana in the two-part film 'Ramayana' and instead opted for theatrical distribution rights across South India. As a co-producer through his banner Monster Mind Creations, his earnings will now depend on the film's commercial success in southern markets. This move follows the recent box office decline of his film 'Toxic' but is not directly linked to it. 'Ramayana' is set to release this Diwali and features a star-studded cast.
