For TV's biggest stars, key roles on successful shows mean huge paychecks – but the payoff doesn't stop there. When shows are syndicated, redistributed, released on DVD, purchased by a streaming service or otherwise used beyond what the actors were originally paid for, those actors get residual checks called royalties. But unfortunately, that’s not the case for Pakistani actors. They don’t get paid for reruns. Fortunately, things seem to start moving in the right direction for the TV and film fraternity as Senator Faisal Javed Khan introduced a resolution guaranteeing royalties for artists in parliament and recently took to Twitter to announce that it had been passed unanimously by the Senate. Celebrities took to Twitter to applaud this news which proved to be a landmark decision for the entertainment industry.
