Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has talked about the star culture dominating the film industry. He also talked about the changes that have taken place in the film industry in 20 years. He also questioned the excessive demand for stars and said that it puts a lot of burden on the producers as crores of rupees are spent on the team of stars. Farah said in an interview, the budget of a film increases because the stars demand it. An actress comes with a team of nine people, an actor comes with a team of nine people, the money spent on these people does not benefit the film.
Farah further told that the daily charge of the spot boy accompanying her is Rs 25 thousand, the daily charge of personal security is Rs 15 thousand and the daily charge of the stylist is up to Rs 1 lakh. Thus, the per day casting cost of a star is Rs 20-22 lakh, so if the shooting of a film lasts for 70 days, it costs the stars an additional Rs 15-20 crore. This should be reduced. All this weighs heavily on manufacturers. I want this thing to change in Bollywood. Farah Khan also talked about the good changes happening in Bollywood. The good thing is that the industry is already organized now, he said. All contracts are fair, no one can eat anyone's money. The bad thing is that earlier the industry used to run on relationships, so if I wanted something, I would talk to the actor directly, but now it is not so. Now I have to first meet the manager's sub-manager, then the manager, then the agency. Due to this, mutual relations between people could not be maintained.
