Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj charged no money for Film Haider
Vishal Bharadwaj and Shahid Kapoor made a decision to give up their remuneration for their upcoming film
You often hear actors explaining their film as “special” to promote it. But Shahid Kapoor was so sure that Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider is indeed “special” that together with the filmmaker he too choose not to charge any money for the film so that neither the budget is overstretched nor the quality affected.
Confirming the same, Vishal informed, “When he started planning the movie, both Shahid and I agreed that it had to make money from the first day. But, we also knew that Haider was a big film with a huge budget, an outfit cast and lavish action pieces. Filming in Kashmir added to the costs. The only way we could succeed in our endeavour was not to load the film with our remunerations. We kept the secret between us for a long-time but it’s eventually out.”
