While profit sharing between big actors and producers is a common practice in Bollywood, Salman Khan seems to have made the makers of ‘Race 3’ quite uneasy with latest demand. Reports say Salman, who’s previous outing ‘Tubelight’ failed to work at the Box Office, has demanded a whopping 70 per cent of ‘Race 3’ profits.
While it has been reported that A-list actors have demanded upto 50 per cent of profits from their movies, their demand has been honoured as they have been on board as producers for the films as well. However, Salman is not going to be producing ‘Race 3’ and will only be on board as the lead actor. A source close to the development revealed, “It is unprecedented but with news of Aamir Khan also turning distributor, all top stars now want to get the best share of the projects they are involved in. If the film makes great money, they want to keep the best and if it fails they want to be responsible too. It is a good sign, but the percentage is pretty high for Race 3.”
As per further reports, Salman has recommended Jacqueline Fernandez and Sidharth Malhotra for the other lead characters in the movie but no official announcement regarding the cast has been made yet. 'Race 3’ will be helmed by Remo D’Souza and will go on floors next year.
