Shah Rukh Khan has a totally different insight to Bollywood’s wage gap between male and female actors : Bollywood News

Shah Rukh Khan is an actor par excellence but wears many hats with equal élan. He always identifies himself as an entertainer on the whole and has a holistic point of view on any issue pertaining to the global world of showbiz. While talking to a business publication he touched upon the sensitive subject of wage gap between male and female actors in the industry and he had a producer’s insight to the issue. While he accepted that there is a persistence gap in the fees of male and female actors which is totally not justified, he pointed out that no actor (irrespective of his or her gender) should get more money than the profits incurred by the film at hand. Performance of the actor, according to Khan, should be equated directly with the movie’s performance of its opening weekend. As a producer he claimed that no actor should overestimate his or her performance and should charge accordingly.
