Based on worldwide collections, everyone (including producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra) will pocket an equal share. Aamir, who feels the film will be a blockbuster, is being credited with the idea.

One of the leads, Sharman Joshi refused to be a part of this profit-sharing group. A source reveals, "Sharman was offered a share in the scheme by producer Chopra and Aamir. But he refused to wait that long for the money to come in. He requested the maker to pay him upfront as he was planning to buy a house and needed the cash."
