quotI have a very simple solution make your films because when you make your film you will not include your remuneration and it takes off the burden from a filmquot Akshay told IANS in an interview quotSo when you make a film for Rs20 crore and release it the profits be it Rs5 crore or Rs10 crore or Rs40 crore is yours It39s all your luck Also your film won39t flop because your remuneration is zeroquot added the actor who makes film under his two banners Hari Om Productions and Grazing Goat For writers who rue that they do not get their dues he suggested quotI am making threefour films and I pay my writers well Again they can also go for profit sharing If the film works well they can ask for their cut in the profitquot According to a recent report the remuneration of Bollywood39s Alisters starts from Rs10 crore and goes up to Rs40 croreu00a0Why are actors asking for such astronomical sumsu00a0quotIt39s neither the producers39 fault nor actors39 because producers do not know how much to give and actors do not know how much to ask for quotIt39s not easy to decide remuneration because sometimes a film works and sometimes it does not So I have come to a conclusion make your own filmsquot said Akshay who feels quotthe biggest burden on a film is its artistquot quotIf you remove that burden it is impossible for a movie to flop It39s simple economicsquot added the star who has been active in filmdom for more than two decades and has about 100 films to his creditu00a0This does not mean that the 44yearold will not work in outside films He will but on one conditionu00a0quotI would work in other producers39 films but I will charge according to the film39s box office business Profit sharing in short This is the only wayquot he added Marketing has become an integral part of a film says Akshay It helps in the first three days of the collection but after that it is all about content So one needs to focus on the script and screenplay as well he saidu00a0quotMarketing is a big thing Marketing works for the first three days and content works after those three days So it is very important to have the right content as wellquot he said Explaining the importance of script he added quotI think script and screenplay are more important than actors in a film If your script and screenplay are in place it is big support for the actors quotFor instance a film with a lot of action doesn39t work But if you just slap according to the screenplay and if it is positioned rightly it works wonders for a film If you have seen 39Deewaar39 it is supposed to be one of the best action movies But actually it had a small action scene but that came at the right time and workedquot he said Akshay who started his career with action movies like quotKhiladiquot and quotMohraquot now returns to the genre after seven years with quotRowdy Rathorequotu00a0quotI personally believe that people enjoy raw action more than technology If you use too much of technology it will bounce back People are very smart and understand what is real and what is unreal quotIf you sit in single theatres and watch such films with the audience you will hear people saying 39Arre ye toh computer pe kiya hai This is done on computer39 So you can39t take your audiences for grantedu00a0quotSo when I did my first action film 39Rowdy Rathore39 after six years I chose to do raw action I believe in manpower and not technological powerquot he saidu00a0
