Janhvi Kapoor on rising costs of entourages; says she is ‘very protective of her team’: “Sab log yahan sirf paiso ke liye kaam nahin kar rahe”

-

Bollywood faces a financial challenge that threatens to inflate budgets and hinder profitability: the rising cost of actor entourage. This issue has come under renewed scrutiny following big-budget flops like Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan and Akshay Kumar-Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Actresses like Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of veteran producer Boney Kapoor, are caught in the middle, balancing empathy for their teams with understanding the financial strain on filmmakers.

Janhvi Kapoor on rising costs of entourages; says she is ‘very protective of her team’ “Sab log yahan sirf paiso ke liye kaam nahin kar rahe”

Janhvi Kapoor, promoting her upcoming film Mr & Mrs Mahi, recently shared her perspective on the rising overhead costs. Acknowledging her producer lineage, she revealed to Indian Express, “I do think about the costs… I know the kind of burden and pressure all these monetary things can put on a producer.”

However, Kapoor also emphasized the value of an actor’s team, stating, “I’m very protective of my team and I’d like to protect their rights.”

In the same interview, Kapoor suggested a collaborative approach, believing “a good production team will always take care of an actor’s team if the film demands that kind of entourage.” She further argues that not everyone on an actor’s crew is solely motivated by money, stating, “Sab log yahan sirf paiso ke liye kaam nahin kar rahe, kaam ke liye bhi kaam kar rahe hai (Not everyone here is just working for the money, they’re also working for the love of the craft).”

A report by Indian Express shed light on the “menace” of entourage costs. The price for an entourage varies, but estimates include spot boys charging Rs. 25,000 per day, personal security costing Rs. 15,000 per person daily, and stylists commanding up to Rs. 1 lakh. These expenses can quickly snowball – the overhead cost for a single star can reach Rs. 20-22 lakh per day, translating to an additional Rs. 15-20 crore for a 70-day shoot.

Meanwhile, Mr & Mrs Mahi will be released in theatres on May 31. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film also stars Rajkummar Rao.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Box Office: Salman Khan’s film enters Rs. 100 Crore Club, aims to cross Jai Ho next

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
