Speaking to the YouTube channel Hindi Rush, Shazia said, “When Salman Khan had called us… Everyone knows that a food tent is set up on his films.

I don’t mind this and it is not that it is not applicable to me. I have one assistant and one make-up artist and I don’t need anybody else after these two.

Published by Parlour News

After Suniel Shetty’s angry statement blasting Bollywood folks over rumours that Ahan Shetty was thrown out of projects due to his high entourage costs, Ahan Shetty has now broken his silence on the issue. The actor was supposed to star in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Sanki, but reports suggested that he was ousted from the film due to high entourage expenses. In a recent interaction with Hindustan Times, Ahan refuted all the allegations and called them untrue. He said, “I know there were articles written about me, saying that my entourage cost was high and that’s why certain films didn’t happen and none of that was true. I knew that, people close to me knew that and my producers knew that too.” Ahan admitted that one has to be “thick-skinned” to survive in the industry. The actor added that he is prepared for “worse” rumours about him in the future. “Going forward, it might get worse. These things affect you, but you shouldn’t let it bother you too much because everyone has the right to their own …

Director Anurag Kashyap always seems to be right in the middle of a debate with everyone from and beyond the industry. In an old interview, the director had called out filmmakers and producers for spending too much money on entourages belonging to actors and other paraphernalia on the sets, which ultimately leaves the team with less money to invest in the actual film. Actor Amit Sial responded to these comments, and while he agreed with Kashyap to a certain extent, he admitted that there are various facets to this reality. While talking to the YouTube channel Hindi Rush, Sial pointed out that these costs are very much real, and they do affect the overall budget allocation while making a film, but a producer needs to be ready for these kinds of things. “These extra costs and their effects on the film and its overall budget are 100 per cent real. You take someone who is high on a pedestal; you go to him as a producer, knowing damn well who he is as a person …

‘Actors should have some discretion’: Here’s why The Royals star Ishaan Khatter feels large entourage is burden for entire crew

Published by Parlour News

Ishaan Khatter offered a thoughtful view on the ongoing conversation about actors being accompanied by large entourages. He stated that he doesn’t firmly support or oppose the practice, emphasizing that the decision should ultimately rest with individual artists. In his latest web series, The Royals, the issue is humorously addressed, shedding light on how the growing size of support teams can significantly impact production budgets. Speaking to PTI, Ishaan Khatter remarked that no single individual should have such a large entourage that it places a strain on the entire production. He noted that the topic lends itself well to some lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek commentary. Reflecting on his own experiences, he shared that they have varied greatly from project to project. On A Perfect Couple, for instance, he managed everything himself without any personal assistance. Whereas, on other sets, actors are often accustomed to having extensive support, which he admitted can sometimes be amusing. Currently available on Netflix, The Royals features Ishaan Khatter as Aviraaj Singh, a hesitant modern-day prince, and Bhumi Pednekar as Sophia Shekhar, a …
