imageBollywood ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is coming up with another most anticipating movie ‘Bajirao Mastani’ featuring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh for which he will not charge any fee.

Though, the ‘Devdas’ director is not charging any fee for his direction but he chose another way out to make money for himself.

According to media reports, the ace director has struck a unique deal with producer Sunil Lulla. He will not be charging any fee for the direction but he will take away 50% of the movies profits. A source close to the development said, “Earlier, only big stars demanded a share in profits but today, many A-list directors take 25-30% of the profits from studios in lieu of their remuneration. Bhansali has doubled that figure, but there is a reason for the move. Bhansali is confident about the fate of the film and knows he will not be shortchanged. It’s a smart move”.

The movie is set to go on floor by the end of this year and will hit theatres later next year.
