In Bollywood, the fees of actors are constantly increasing with every film. The budget of films also increases due to the fees of big stars. When these films are not able to earn well at the box office, the producers suffer huge losses. For example, films of big celebrities like Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar are also earning only 3-4 crores on the opening day.
Zoya Akhtar's suggestion: According to media reports, Karan Johar talked about the need to change the fees of male actors. During this, Zoya Akhtar advised Karan that he should focus on paying less fees to male actors. Zoya said, "You just have to stop paying money."
Karan Johar's reply: On this, Karan Johar said that he has stopped paying high fees to male actors. Karan also said, "What are your last two films, and how much have you earned? By what right are you asking me these numbers?" He gave an example that he had made a small film in which he had to cast a new artist because big stars only ask for fees according to the budget.
Opportunities for young actors: Karan said, "When it comes to viability, there are only 6% male actors. Producers will have to re-share the fees to empower young actors." Zoya also argued that the technical crew should also get paid well, as male stars currently take 70% of the budget. Karan said that some young male stars want to charge Rs 40 crore, but they are hesitant to take risks with their acting. This discussion makes it clear that it is important to maintain a balance between the actors' fees and the film's budget in Bollywood. If producers do not pay attention to this, then many challenges may be faced in the future.
