Ranbir to pay distributors if ‘Jagga Jasoos’ flops?

Following in the footsteps of Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor will reportedly pay distributors himself if his next ‘Jagga Jasoos’ fails at the box office.

Similarly, Khan compensated distributors by forking out in the region of Rs. 55 crore to distributors who made a loss from ‘Tubelight’ recently.

Kapoor was cited in Deccan Chronicle saying, “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.”

Kapoor said he was following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Raj Kapoor, “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.”

‘Jagga Jasoos’ releases this weekend.
