Actress Tanishaa Mukerji shares her thoughts on the rising prices, addresses the increasing film production costs

Inflation may be a cause of concern for a lot of people but not too many people from Bollywood have spoken about it. Actress Tanisha Mukerji has in a new post that reflects the wit and humour of people in the industry about things that should matter.

Sharing a couple of pictures on her social media account, the actress wrote- “Motivated to work after seeing all prices just going up and up.”

Bollywood’s rising costs

Also, in an interview with IndianExpress.com two years ago, she said, “Suppose an individual producer goes to the actor and says ‘I want to do a film with you and I can pay you Rs 5 crores’. On the other hand, these corporate companies jump in and say, ‘We need 30 days from you, we will pay you Rs 30 crores’, how can an individual producer compete with a production house?”

The actress added, “It’s different when an actor like Akshay Kumar says I can only work 9-5, then he goes home and does his gym. Is the actor you are working with is also just doing 9-5? How dare you tell ‘actors ke nakhre’? First point out if he is willing to be on your set for 14 hours?

Is he willing to do an 18-hour shift with you? Consider all this and then comment. It is after considering and analysing these things you can talk about their tantrums and call their demands for gyms and chefs in their vanity vans unrealistic. Of course, he will need a chef, how is he going to manage his own food, workout, if he doesn’t have much time off your shoot?”

“Every star will have their tantrums, otherwise they won’t be considered stars. Bigger the tantrum, bigger the star. Some people believe this. If you are an independent producer and have a low budget, talk it out with the star, I am sure they will work out. But if you’re a corporate, of course, they will demand things because you do have that kind of money. It’s all about demand and supply,” continued the Sarkar actor.
