At the teaser launch of Kotabommali PS, the filmmaker spoke about whether an actor’s fees impact the overall budget of movies. He also commented that actors tend to increase their fees after delivering box-office hit movies. In the same conversation, he mentioned Yash’s name as an example which did not go down well with the actor’s fans. Allu Aravind says not the lead actor’s role but the film’s making impacts the movies Allu Aravind was sharing details about his production house - Geetha Arts. He commented that in high-budget films, the actor’s remuneration does not amount to much of the budget. He said, “The lead actor of a movie gets only 20 to 25 per cent of the film’s budget as remuneration. So, it is not true that the budget for the film will increase because of his fees alone. On top of actors’ fees, a lot of money is spent to make the movie a big venture.”'Who is Yash before KGF''A small actor nobody knew''His previous film collection 9cr''His next film which started after KGF1 wrap - low budget rural comedy Kirataka2 which he shelved'Producer #AlluAravind Honest, Bold Comments on KGF @TheNameIsYashpic.twitter.com/S72NPO5b3T— 𝑲𝑩𝑶 | 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒂 𝑩𝒐𝒙 𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆 (@Karnatakaa_BO) November 7, 2023 The filmmaker gave the example of the KGF franchise led by Yash.
