Kartik Aaryan Speaks Up About The On-Going Debate Of High Movie Actor Remunerations

Kartik Aaryan graced Pinkvilla with an exclusive Masterclass of his. In his conversation with Himesh Mankad at Pinkvilla Masterclass @ IFP Season 14, when he was asked about his view on the on-going debate of high movie actor remunerations, he opined, "Everything has a calculation. It's a business module. If things are sitting in the calculation, then it's correct. If your satellite, digital and music rights are already giving benefit to the producers, and if your mathematics is sitting correctly; if the audience is coming for you, then it makes sense".

Explaining why these debates continue to happen, he said, "Since people are not doing these calculations, these debates are happening. The calculations are going off and thus most people are not happy and infact angry". "I hope my producers stay happy and I don't make them angry in any way. I think my calculator works well", he concluded.
