Abhishek Banerjee Claims A Star’s Bodyguard Earns More Than A Supporting Actor

Pataal Lok actor Abhishek Banerjee recently discussed how supporting actors make less money than a celebrity's bodyguard. Abhishek talked about how "so many unnecessary demands are made by certain stars" and how growing film expenditures are frequently caused by stars' excessive salaries. Additionally, he described how producers would tell him, "Kam paise mein cast karo."?

He told HindustanTimes, “I have been casting for movies and shows for many years now. So many unnecessary demands are made by certain stars. What happens because of that is actors ko paise nahi milte.”

“I would be told by makers, ‘Kam paise mein cast karo.’ I don’t know if the stars know this reality or not. Sometimes good actors get peanuts for a show or a film. Star value of course gets people to the theatres and buy tickets, but at the same time, an actor also adds same value to a story, one cannot neglect that. One can’t pay a star’s bodyguard more than an actor’s daily wage,” he added.
