Tiger Shroff faces 'salary cuts' amid back to back flops

Actor Tiger Shroff is facing 'salary cuts' as the actor has been told by producers to slash his payment demands by 50%, as per Bollywood Hungama.

The Heropanti actor was riding the wave of popularity before the pandemic with hit movies, leading the actor to hike his acting fee.

Tiger reportedly signed Ganapath for INR 35 crore, demanded INR 35 crores for Karan Johar's Screw Dheela, and also charged a whopping INR 45 crores for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

But post-pandemic proved to be a disaster for the 32-year-old actor as his movies subsequently bombed at the box office, and now producers are growing wary of the actor's 'hefty payments' demands.

Citing a trade source, Bollywood Hungama learned that producers have told Tiger to cut his remuneration and bring it down to the range of INR. 17 to 20 crores per film.

"Times have changed and paid such a huge sum as upfront fees to Tiger didn't make sense to many producers."

The source further told, "Not just him, Akshay Kumar and Ali Abbas Zafar too reduced their fees. The process of him signing the films has slowed down because most of the producers are not in sync with the amount that he is demanding."

"It's a short-term thing. One hit and Tiger will roar again. It's just a matter of time before the industry realizes that Tiger Zinda Hai. This is a lull phase for not just Tiger, but the entire industry. Everything will be back to normal once the films start working," the trade source concluded.

Meanwhile, Tiger will be gearing up to begin shooting for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan next.
