Ranveer Singh To Forego Pending Fee For 83?

The  under-performance at the  boxoffice  of  Kabir Khan’s  ’83 has shocked the  film industry, none more so  than the producers, which include Deepika Padukone,  of  this  lavish 270-crore project.

The  costly film now stands to lose  more than a  hundred crores.

A  source  close to the producers  told this writer that  the  blame game will start soon. “The film looks and feels  like a documentary on  the 1983 World Cup. Some  from the production team had  pointed this  out while the  film was  being . What was  the need to shoot at the pricey Lords stadium in London when there are so many similarly vast cricket stadiums right here in India?  But the naysayers  were shut down  by director  Kabir Khan and Ranveer Singh who were  fully confident  of  getting the audience into theatres.”

Apparently a  large chunk  of  Ranveer’s fee is  pending.And he may be compelled  to write  it  off to counter  at least  of  the losses.

For Kabir  Khan the failure of  ’83 is  a double setback after the  poor  response to his last directorial  Tubelight . That  too was a very costly film.At  this  rate he is likely to acquire the reputation of  a prohibitive  filmmaker.
