Samir Soni has played several versatile roles in many television shows and films. He recently gave his unbiased opinion on rising star fees in Bollywood in an interview with Ujjwal Trivedi for his YouTube channel. The actor talked about Karan Johar and Farah Khan’s remarks on high entourage costs.
“All I’d like to say to Karan and Farah is that if you think the expenses are rising, you are the ones who is paying for all of it. You can’t be signing a big star for ₹100 crore and then say that these guys take a lot of money. Kuch kami toh aap mein bhi hai (There are some shortcomings in you, too). Because otherwise, there are people who will work for ₹1 crore also and for ₹50 lakh also. You’ve done this,” said Samir.
Earlier, Karan had spoken about the actors charging exorbitantly high fees and Farah had stated that rising entourage as a ‘waste of resources’. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap also spoke over the issue and said that a lot of money that is being spent, is not going towards making of the film, but rather into the “paraphernalia, it goes into entourage.”
