Farah Khan calls out actors for their extensive entourages: "woh producers pe boht bhaari padta hai"

Farah Khan has recently stirred up conversations within the industry by shedding light on the escalating costs associated with actors' entourages during film shoots. In a recent interview, the director, known for her blockbuster hits over the past two decades, expressed her concern over the financial burden this trend imposes on producers.

Farah Khan, in her recent interview, drew attention to the mounting expenses caused by actors' extensive entourages, characterizing it as an unnecessary drain on resources. She emphasized that while these additional personnel might not directly contribute to the film's production, their daily charges significantly accumulate, exerting immense pressure on the already stretched budgets of producers.

Speaking on the matter, Farah Khan said to Twin Encounter, "The change I would like to bring about is that the entourage cost has become too much. An actress comes with nine people, and an actor comes with eight people. That is a waste of resources. That cost is nowhere to be seen in the film! That needs to be controlled a bit. Woh producers pe bohot bhaari padta hai."

However, in today's landscape, she lamented the bureaucratic process involved, where requests and communication are filtered through layers of management, making the interaction "very clinical."

Farah Khan's insights into the challenges posed by inflated entourage costs offer a glimpse into the evolving dynamics of Bollywood filmmaking. As someone who has experienced the industry's transformations firsthand, her perspective sheds light on the complexities faced by both filmmakers and actors in navigating these changes.
