Yash reportedly rejected Rs 100 crore Ramayana fee for South distribution rights
Dubai: Yash is said to have given up a fee reported at Rs 100 crore for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana , taking the South Indian theatrical distribution rights for both parts instead. If accurate, it converts a guaranteed payment into a bet on the film's performance in exactly the markets where he is strongest. The caveat matters here more than usual.

Dubai: Yash has reportedly turned down a reported Rs 100 crore fee for Nitesh Tiwari's two-part Ramayana adaptation. Instead, he has opted for theatrical distribution rights in the South Indian markets. If true, this translates a guaranteed payment into a risk-based investment tied to the film's performance in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala.
The information comes from box office tracking site Sacnilk, which has been cited by several aggregators. However, Yash, his production house Monster Mind Creations, and Prime Focus Studios have not confirmed the claim. Yash plays the character of Ravana, and he co-produces the film with Monster Mind Creations and Prime Focus Studios.
Earlier reports had the fee at roughly Rs 100 crore across both parts, or approximately Dh42 million at current exchange rates. The new report indicates that Yash is foregoing a fixed remuneration and instead taking South Indian theatrical distribution rights. This move aligns his earnings more closely with the film's success in the South, given Yash's commercial success in that region.
