Samir Soni holds Karan Johar, Farah Khan responsible for actors’ rising entourage costs in Bollywood: ‘If you think...'

From Karan Johar to Farah Khan, many people have shared their views on the ongoing debate on rising star fees and entourage costs in Bollywood. Now, Samir Soni has also shared his two cents about the ongoing debate.

In an interview with Ujjwal Trivedi, when asked about his take on filmmakers criticising actors for charging a bomb to act in movies, Samir Soni blamed Karan Johar and Farah Khan for complaining after signing a star. 

He said, “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 Rs 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 Rs 1 crore also and for Rs 50 lakh also. You’ve done this.” 

Earlier, Rajeev Khandelwal also reacted to the ongoing debate and told Siddharth Kanan, “But who agreed to give them the Rs 35 crore in the first place? If not Rs 35 crore, someone must’ve given them Rs 30 crore. Was it you yourself who used to give them Rs 25 crore? Till the time when Rs 25 crore was working for you, it was fine, but now that it’s not, you’re coming out and complaining about high salaries. Who spoiled them? You created these monsters.” 

Meanwhile, Samir Soni was last seen in the series P I Meena which also starred Tanya Maniktala. The actor also starred in the movie Nikamma alongside Shilpa Shetty. He will next be seen in the movie Jab Khuli Kitaab. The film also stars Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia and the release date of the film is yet to be announced.
