Srikanth: When the producers of Srikanth were forced to reduce the budget, Sharad Kelkar became the messiah, and made the film for just this much fee.

May 15,2024


 
Rajkummar Rao's recent release 'Srikanth' received positive responses from the audience and critics. 'Srikanth' attracted the audience in theaters also. The film is based on the life of blind industrialist Srikant Bolla, with Rajkummar Rao playing the role of Srikant. Along with him, Alaya F is also in the lead roles. At the same time, actor Sharad Kelkar also played an important role in the film. Now some information related to him has come to light, which is about his fees. You will be surprised to know that Sharad has charged only Rs 101 for playing his character in 'Srikanth'.
 
Responsibility for reducing the budget
Producers and directors are also surprised to hear Sharad's fees. The film's director Tushar Hiranandani himself has revealed that Sharad took such a low fee. T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar, director Tushar Hiranandani, and co-producer Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani talked about how they managed to complete the film under budget. When he decided the budget of the film, he felt that it was too much and he decided that the budget would have to be reduced a little.
 
Sharad respected the script
In a recent interview, Tushar said that after the discussion about reducing the budget, we did not think that we would be successful in doing this, but it became possible. We brought the budget of the film down by 10 to 15 percent from the original budget. This is the first time in the series that someone has reduced the budget of the film. He also said that all this was possible due to the help of the team. We had actors like Rajkumar Rao, who understands the financial situation and got a lot of help from his side, but Sharad Kelkar surprised us.
 
Jyotika and Alaya F also reduced fees
Tushar said that Sharad has done this film for Rs 101. When Sharad was cast in the film, he told his fee, which was justified. He then told Sharad that it is difficult to pay such a fee, but you should listen to the story once. As soon as he heard the story, he said that he was ready to do the film at a fee of Rs 101. When Bhushan Kumar called him and wanted to know his opinion, Sharad told him that he would charge a fee of Rs 101. He did this to respect the script. At the same time, Jyothika and Alaya F also reduced their fees and thus they were successful in reducing the budget of the film.
 
Srikanth: When the producers of Srikanth were forced to reduce the budget, Sharad Kelkar became the messiah, and made the film for just this much fee.
