"Not Really In Touch With…": Karan Johar's Brutal Dig At Actors Demanding High Fees. Watch
Producer and director Karan Johar has taken a brutal dig at actors, who are demanding high fees.

Producer and director Karan Johar recently launched the trailer of 'Kill', his upcoming production venture. At the trailer launch event, Karan Johar spoke about the rising entourage cost in Bollywood. KJo also spoke about how most of the actors currently are "not really in touch with reality", and they should really look at the amount of money they are charging as it is not fair on the producers.
“The entourage cost is the least of our worry. 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," said Karan Johar.
“It is very difficult, there are so many costs— the PnA (Publicity and advertising) costs and if the above the line cost, which is what comes from the actors, is not viable, then it becomes important to mount a film. Every single movie star today has to review what they’re asking for," he added.
Speaking further, Karan Johar said, “They (actors) can take all the entourage they want, that is not the problem. While it’s adding to our costs, the real issue is the mothership cost. They’ve to look at that. There can be backend deals, percentage of profits, slabs of box office as per performance based remuneration. All that is possible, but every actor has to look within because a lot of them are not really in touch with reality."
