Last
week,
Richa
Chadha
talked
about
the
residuals
or
royalties
structure
in
Bollywood,
and
revealed
on
her
blog
that
she
was
paid
Rs
2.5
lakh
for
both
parts
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur,
but
did
not
get
any
royalty
even
after
the
project
became
a
cult
classic.
Soon
after,
director
Anurag
Kashyap
tweeted
about
the
same
and
confirmed
Richa
Chadha's
claim.
On
Sunday,
Anurag
wrote
on
Twitter,
"She
is
right.
Most
actors
and
crew
got
paid
similar
amounts
or
less
and
I
had
to
forfeit
my
entire
fees
to
make
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur.
Funny
thing
is
we
still
own
50%
IPR
(Intellectual
Property
Rights)
on
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
and
we
have
never
seen
a
penny
on
it
or
know
about
its
income.
For
the
studio,
it's
still
a
flop."
Anurag
Kashayp
Was
Also
Approached
To
Make
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
3
Anurag
added
in
the
tweet
that
the
studio
also
asked
him
to
make
a
part
3
because
of
its
popularity.
In
a
series
of
tweets
he
wrote,
"Despite
the
film
being
seen
the
world
over
and
playing
on
various
OTT
platform,
according
to
them
they
haven't
made
any
money
on
a
film
that
was
made
under
Rs
18
crore.
And
then
they
actually,
once
few
years
back
asked
me
to
make
a
part
3.
Anyways,
that's
how
most
studios
work
here.
The
only
studio
that
has
consistently
send
us
reports
on
the
business
of
the
films
is/was
UTV."
Richa
Chadha's
Blog
Post
On
Need
For
Royalty
System
In
Bollywood
Earlier,
Richa
shared
in
her
blog
that
veteran
actors
are
usually
left
destitute
in
their
final
years
because
of
the
absence
of
royalty
system
in
Bollywood.
She
mentioned
beloved
actors
like
Parveen
Babi,
AK
Hangal
and
Bhagwan
Dada
in
her
post.
Richa
hoped
that
a
new
structure
will
help
more
actors
and
secure
their
future
and
wrote,
"I
am
aware
my
desire
to
see
all
credited
departments
get
their
due
in
terms
of
royalty
is
the
most
unrealistic
dream.
It
just
will
not
happen,
at
least
not
in
my
lifetime.
But
since
structures
all
around
us
are
crumbling,
perhaps
we
can
build
anew
from
the
rubble."
