John Abraham has increased his fees from films to films in recent years. His fees went up from ₹7 crore to ₹21 crore. He has increased his fees rapidly from Satyameva Jayate (2018) to Ek Villain Returns. But now, according to sources, John has given a discount of ₹3 crore to director Sajid Khan.
A source said, “Both Mumbai Saga (2021) and Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021) suffered losses for the producers as the run at the box office was not up to the mark. Following that, the producers had a conversation with John about reducing his acting fees to put the film in the right bracket of budget. While the producers were keen to bring him down to ₹15 crore, they finally zeroed in on ₹18 crore.”
Sajid Khan’s next film will be a comedy-drama and will start shooting in London from next month, and it will take three months to complete. But before moving on to a new project, John will finish shooting for Pathan with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. His other film, Attack, will be released on February 25.
