Mohanlal,
the
complete
actor
has
decided
to
take
a
pay
cut
for
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
project,
Drishyam
2.
The
Kerala
film
producers
association
confirmed
the
reports
in
a
recently
held
general
body
meeting.
The
association
representatives
confirmed
that
Mohanlal
had
taken
around
50
percent
pay
cut
for
Drishyam
2,
considering
the
current
situation.
According
to
the
Film
Producers
Association,
the
superstar,
who
is
also
the
president
of
the
actors
association
A.M.M.A,
readily
agreed
to
take
a
pay
cut
upon
their
request.
However,
two
popular
actors
of
the
industry
refused
to
take
a
pay
cut.
Instead,
they
went
on
to
increase
their
remuneration,
amidst
this
difficult
situation.
Reportedly,
one
of
the
above-mentioned
actors,
who
was
charging
Rs.
75
Lakhs
per
film,
has
now
decided
to
increase
his
remuneration
to
Rs.
1
Crore.
The
other
actor,
who
was
charging
Rs.
45
Lakhs,
has
now
raised
his
remuneration
to
Rs.
50
Lakhs.
The
Film
Producers
Association
is
now
reconsidering
the
decision
to
permit
the
shooting
of
the
upcoming
films,
that
features
these
two
actors.
The
association
has
decided
to
have
an
official
word
with
the
producers
of
both
films,
on
the
same.
Coming
to
Drishyam
2,
the
highly
anticipated
movie
has
thus
emerged
as
the
first
project
to
follow
the
budget
cut
decision
put
forward
by
the
Kerala
Film
Producers
Association.
Earlier,
it
was
revealed
that
Jeethu
Joseph,
the
director
of
the
project,
has
also
decided
to
take
a
pay
cut
considering
the
current
situation.
After
Mohanlal
too
decided
to
take
a
pay
cut,
more
actors
and
technicians
are
expected
to
follow
the
same
path.
