Recently Aamir said that he doesn't charge an advance fee and only takes a percentage of the profit his films make.

He said "He follows the oldest method, in performing an art and if audience likes it, they will give money, and if they don't, they wouldn't shell a penny. As he doesn’t take any upfront fees, he will be the worst hit if my films don't work at box office. Fortunately, his films have brought profit".

earned him hundreds of crores since all his films have raked in hundreds of
crores of profit. Meanwhile he reportedly takes in 60-70% of his films' profit.
