Karan Johar has spoken time and again about the high entourage fees paid to actors. The filmmaker raised the same issue at a roundtable discussion hosted by The Hollywood Reporter India. In a LOL twist,

Karan, in a moment of rare self-awareness, confessed that he has stopped paying such high fees. He revealed that his latest film, Kill, was made with a “rank newcomer” because every established male star had asked for the exact amount that was the entire budget of the movie.

The ongoing financial struggles at Pooja Entertainment, coupled with reports of Akshay Kumar's hefty fee for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, have reignited the debate around actor salaries. Filmmakers Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar recently addressed this issue during a roundtable discussion.
