Having Aamir or Salman on poster, films make 300 crore: Priyanka Chopra

Actress Priyanka Chopra, who has been vocal about equal pay for both female and male stars in the industry, has said equal remuneration will open happen when solo films of female stars start performing at the box office.

“Somehow professional men are given more remuneration and compensation than women are… As a woman, I don’t understand it, but that’s the world we live in”

However, Priyanka also said the presence of top superstars like Aamir and Salman ensures box office collections of Rs 300 crore.

“I don’t want to take anything away from the male actors who actually bring the audiences in.. when you have an Aamir or Salman on the poster, they (films) make 300 crores”

“But movies with female leads simply do not make that kind of money. The day female lead films make or command that much money, we will make that much too. But for that to happen, the audience needs to watch a movie because it’s got a great story and not just because particular star is in it” Priyanka added.

Priyanka awaits the release of her debut Hollywood film ‘Baywatch’.

  • Salman and Aamir are the only two mega stars of Bollywood.
    Hrithik and Akshay are superstars.
    Ranveer, Ajay, Ranbir and SRK are stars.

  • She didn’t mentioned SRK name. even Priyanka know that SRK is no more a bankable superstar and he doesn’t deserve to be in Khans league.

  • Having EDX release on your film poster are guarantee of film to touch even 400Cr even if film doesn’t star Salman & Aamir.

  • Aamir made 300 crores in 2014 only..Now its 2016 so maybe 350-400 cr this time because.. Ab Dangal Hoga ?

  • Well Said
    Salman Khan – Intellectuals criticizing his acting But BOC just vanishes it

    Aamir Khan – Perfectionist Nothing To say

    SRK – One Bad Year Everyone Forget Who was the Ruler From Last Two Decades and Sure He will Bounce Back

    Akshay Kumar – Proud That He Changed A lot to Choose Orient Based Movies Nowdays whether its patriotic or non patriotic or biopic He Inspires like High speed 5G

    Hrithik Roshan – Over Confidence written in his Attitudes that makes us feel Dangerous even though at #Kaabil facebook chat he says he and his dad and director sanjay gupta all involved in the movie to tell ideas no ego no jealous Hence it does not makes a complete sense
    For me if he is a actor should focus what directors says to him and not to spit his stupidity thoughts or stories to directors to add in that which makes his past movies Krrish 3, Bang Bang or Mohenjo Daro just baseless story line and nothing is good content or addicted to watch more and more at theaters
    #Best Of Luck Hr Love You Hope You get well soon on your attitudes not in acting or choosing movies and Please don’t reveal more about your movies until it gets watched by us at theaters.
    #Kaabil #Blockbuster

  • Who is interested to watch a solo Priyanka starrer? Remember Jai Gangaajal? Unchi dukaan pheeka pakwaan, pahle Bollywood me kam to karo, you are away from it doing some intimate scenes in the west & thinking that you are doing great?

  • She is 100 % correct . Men and Women deserve equal pay not just in film industry but also in other professions . If we just talk about Bollywood yes Female actors can ask for more money when they can provide box office figures . In the last 3 to 4 years women oriented movies have been successful at the Box Office . But the problem is they do not emerge massive blockbusters . Audience should be more receptive towards women oriented movies or movies with female central characters . She has given a pretty mature and balanced statement neither criticising anybody and also making her point . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Those here who are saying that SRK is no more a superstar, are wrong. SRK is still a huge crowd puller. Obviously he is behind Salman Khan but it is not fair to say that his stardom is over.

    PS – I am a Salman Khan Fan.

  • Rightly said PC ?!

    But having Hakla on poster, Films struggled to go past 80cr ! Courtesy – FlopStardom ?…

  • @Javed :

    What about My Name Is Bakri n Bhangar FAN ?, Atleast Jai Ho crossed 100cr mark on Non-holiday, Also Bhai has 2 100cr+ grossers on Non-holiday, Talaash also crossed 90cr mark But Hakla failed twice to even go past 80cr ! That too with content rich movies ! SHAME ON SUCH FLOPSTARDOM

  • & note that actress like kangana’s can do collection of 150 crore.
    Its not Salman & Amir making collection of 300 crores. Its their films content & festive period doing the collection of 300 crore.
    its not every about male & female discrimination..
    you improve your acting skill & audience will pay for it.
    Don’t talk every time about remuneration & all.

  • Why Salman? Even with 4 day weekend on solo Diwali, his Sanskari PRDP didn’t do 200 crore in India. Don’t overrate this stupid actor Salman, Priyanka.

  • Yes agree &
    Whoever is saying Nonsense like EDX
    Only BIGGEST ACTORS release their films on BIGGEST Weekends EDX
    SRK could have released his film on EDX,But he didnt do that so dont blame AAMIR & SALMAN.

  • The one point you should observe is SRK is struggling to cross 100 crores after HNY…Dilwale, Fan, Dear Zindagi, and Raees all struggled or will be struggling to cross 100 crores. Neither is his any of his future films are raising any curiosity. When Salman and Aamir movies are easily crossing 300 crores, SRK is struggling to cross 100 crores. Moreover his ego is hurting himself then anybody else. Why you want to clash with another A-Star when the A-Star was the first to announce the movie. Is this the start of end of SRK Stardom?

  • only 2 movies of salman have done 300 cr and both were solid movies with EID FESTIVAL and only 1 of amir. jai ho and talash on non festival…lolx
