These days Bollywood is facing tough times as big-budget bollywood movies fail on the box office, and various movies also called for Boycotts which directly affected their business. Meanwhile, various bollywood filmmakers criticized the high fees of Bollywood stars. One of the renowned filmmakers of Bollywood, Subhash Ghai has criticized the trend of Bollywood stars commanding extremely high fees for films, saying that it leaves the producer with very little money to make a film properly.

According to reports, some of the biggest names and A-listers in Bollywood have reportedly taken home compensation as high as ₹100 crores for one film. This includes their fees and shares in distribution and other rights. While none of the stars have confirmed or denied these numbers, multiple reports have stated that stars command extremely high fees. The reason of the big budget of film is increasing is not the making of the film but the in paying the A-listers.

Shubash Ghai recently opens up on these trends, “It’s a very good thing that stars get ₹100 crore. But as a director, I should get ₹125 crore then. After all, I made the film. I wish they get 100 and I get 125. But how will I get that much money when the producer is left with ₹2 crore. The producer’s share is just that of the production manager. Saara toh tu le gaya (You took all the money).”

Shubash  Ghai further speaking about their high films Fees he said, “80-90% paisa toh tum le gaye. Ab picture main kya banaun? (You (the stars) took 80-90% of the money. Now how do I make the film?). I will save ₹5-10 crore and will survive somehow. This is the state producers are in while making films today. How can this be? Producer is the boss of the film, but you have reduced him to a production manager. He is working on 20%, and by taking 80%, you have taken all the creative decisions in your hand.”

On the work front, The director Subhash Ghai has not made a film since 2016. He was also embroiled in a MeToo controversy in 2018 when a woman accused him of drugging and assaulting her. He later got a clean chit from Mumbai Police in the case.
