Esha Deol has this to say about high entourage cost in Bollywood: ‘I don’t have a choice but…’

Esha Deol is all set to make a comeback to the big screen and debut in Telugu cinema with Hero Heeroine. Recently, a new debate about the high entourage cost started in Bollywood and Esha has now shared her views on the same. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Esha Deol opened up about the high entourage cost in Bollywood and reminisced about the time when the actors used to manage with fewer people. She said, "We debuted in a beautiful, simple time where the focus was more on working on the films and our roles. Today, there are so many heads involved in every project. We functioned with a manager, hair, makeup and a boy. We were happy with that, and we are still happy with that. But it’s a different way of working today and I am a part of it. I don’t have a choice but to merge with it." 

Recently, Karan Johar also opened up about the entourage cost and said in an interview, "The entourage cost is the least of our worries. It’s the main remuneration of the actors that has to be looked into. It’s very critical for all the actors to understand exactly how the times are, how the climate of our movies are, how tough and difficult it is to maneuver through making a motion picture of any magnitude or size."

Meanwhile, part from Esha Deol, Hero Heeroine also stars Divya Khosla Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Soni Razdan. Talking about the film, Esha said, "There is a lot of romance. It’s a very vivacious and fresh love story. The Telugu cinema is booming right now and it’s the right time to capitalise on it. Acting is my passion. What I was doing before were more of the candy-floss kind of roles which I did a lot, but now times and the kind of content being made have changed, so it’s a great time to explore."
