With every passing day, the budgets of Bollywood movies are becoming more and more bloated. Recently, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, bombed despite coming with a reported price tag of Rs 350 crore, calling into question just how much money producers are spending on films. A Film Companion report also suggested that the majority of film budgets are spent on star fees. The same report also noted that several people in Ajay Devgn’s entourage were given an official credit for the film Maidaan.

Farah, who has directed stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, among others, has also collaborated with scores of other personalities in her capacity as a choreographer. She revealed that these days, actors don’t start working unless their vanity vans are stationed on set for them. She said, “Until the vans don’t come, they don’t act. Nowadays, each actor has about four vans for themselves. One person. One is for their gym,, one is for their staff, one is for them, one is… then the food truck comes, that’s separate.” Advertisement She added, “Earlier, heroines would change behind trees, we would hold towels for them. I have done it for them. When you go for (outdoor) shoots you’d do it, even in Switzerland they would change behind the bus, use bedsheets to cover. Now the actors don’t budge unless their vans come.” Farah Khan talks about multiple Vanity Van demands by Bollywood stars in her vlog…
