Actor Yash has reportedly restructured his payout for Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming epic 'Ramayana', giving up an earlier expected fee of Rs 100 crore in favour of theatrical distribution rights across South India. The report, sourced from Sacnilk and cited by The Times of India, states that Yash will not receive a fixed remuneration for playing the antagonist Ravana in the two-part film.
Instead, the actor, who is also a co-producer on 'Ramayana' through his banner Monster Mind Creations, will reportedly hold South Indian distribution rights for both instalments of the film. This effectively means his final earnings from the project will now be tied to how well 'Ramayana' performs commercially in the southern markets, rather than a fixed, guaranteed sum agreed upon in advance.
