Ranbir Kapoor is all set for the release of his much-awaited movie ‘Jagga Jasoos’, alongside Katrina Kaif. At a promotional event for the movie, the actor was asked to comment on reports about Salman deciding to pay back his ‘Tubelight’ distributors after the movie’s poor performance at the box office.
To this, the actor said, "It has been going on since my grandfather's (Raj Kapoor) time in 1950s... the style of making films where everyone makes money, not just the producers but also distributors and exhibitors. It is a healthy exercise. If someone loses money on something and you have made money out of it, it's good to compensate. But that depends on person to person and film to film.”
He continued, "Like when 'Mera Naam Joker' released, distributors incurred losses. So when 'Bobby' released, my grandfather gave a bigger share to the distributors than the exhibitors. Personally, if my film fails and I am making money out of it, then I will pay back the distributors.”
