Samir Soni On Karan Johar And Farah Khan: In 2023, Bollywood films made a great collection at the box office. However, except for a few films this year, the rest of the films have disappointed the audience. Audiences are rejecting Bollywood films. However, in the meantime, the increasing fees of the actors is also a matter of concern.
Makers are facing losses due to continuous flops of their films. But actors are increasing their fees. Famous filmmakers like Farah Khan and Karan Johar had also expressed concern on this issue. However, now actor Sameer Soni has targeted both of them and said that there is some shortcoming in you too.
Sameer blames Farah and Karan
Sameer Soni has worked in many films. In a recent conversation with Ujjwal Trivedi, Sameer Soni took Karan and Farah to task and said, ‘All I want to say to Karan and Farah is that if you feel that the expenses are increasing then you are the one who is bearing all the expenses. You cannot sign a big star for Rs 100 crore and say that these people charge too much. There is something lacking in you too, otherwise there are people who will work for Rs 1 crore and even Rs 50 lakh. You have done all this.’
Rajeev Khandelwal also said this about Karan Johar
Before Sameer Soni, TV and Bollywood actor Rajeev Khandelwal had also targeted Karan Johar. Regarding Karan, Rajeev had said in an interview, ‘But who agreed to give them (actors) Rs 35 crore in the first place? If not Rs 35 crore, someone must have given them Rs 30 crore. Did you yourself give them Rs 25 crore? As long as Rs 25 crore was working for you, it was fine, but now that it is not benefiting you, you are openly complaining about the high salary. Who spoiled them? You have made all of them.’
Know what Karan Johar said?
Karan Johar had talked about the increasing fees of actors in an interview a few days ago. The filmmaker had said, ‘Inflation is increasing in the industry these days. There are about 10 actors in Hindi cinema and all of them are asking for the sun, moon and earth. So you give them money. Then you pay for the film and then there are other expenses as well. But your film is not able to earn at the box office’.
