Mohanlal's Remuneration For Empuraan

In one of his recent interviews with a popular Bollywood entertainment host Anupama Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumar, who spoke highly of Mohanlal and Empuraan, couldn't help but throw his insight into filmmaking and the production costs. In his words, Mohanlal did not take a single penny for the movie as his remuneration and that every rupee from the film's budget was spent only on the production. The actor-filmmaker added, "I made sure that every penny for #L2E is spent on making . #Mohanlal sir didn't take a single rupee as Remuneration for #Empuraan. This is not the film where 80 Crores goes for salary & 20 Crores for making (sic)."
