Salman said this during a promotional event of his upcoming film `Ready`. Directed by Anees Bazmee, this romantic-comedy has brought together Salman and Asin Thottumkal in lead roles and is set to release on June 3.
The actor said, "I don`t work for money. Even if I don`t
get any remuneration, I am fine with it. Right now I want to give some portion of my income to the workers in the film industry, even if it is just half a percent," Salman said.
"If every artist contributes this way, it would generate a huge amount for the workers," he added.
The 45-year old actor, who recently felicitated the employees of the Film City at the music launch of` Ready`, said, "Government earns revenue through entertainment tax, a part of which should go back to the workers in the film industry. I will discuss this matter with the authorities of the workers` associations to see how things can be worked out.
The money would first go to these associations and then distributed to the workers."
Salman said, "These workers at the Film City have been working for a long time. They have supported and helped us in every way possible during the making of films. So I would also help them in whatever way I can."
The actor, who runs `Being Human`, a registered NGO for the underprivileged, also said that during the film promotions, the actors should come forward to provide financial help to the underprivileged people, instead of just flashing smiles.
