Karan Johar called out the youngsters for demanding more money than what they rightfully deserve. In a recent interview he said, he is ‘fed up’ with the constant increase in actors’ fees, especially in the younger generation of actors who demand a hefty salary. Karan was more exasperated that these fee hikes took place during the pandemic, where the actors gave excuses of their previous films not doing well or being delayed due to the lockdown.
Speaking to an online portal during an interview, Karan said, “I am so fed up. I have seen prices of actors rise through the worst period of cinema for no reason. They hadn’t had a release, their last release was a failure, their films have not taken off, and yet they are just (rising their prices) because they are riding on the digital money. They have gone beyond deluded. And we all have to just suck it up and work with them because this is what we do.”

He further added, “There is a younger order that is yet to prove their muscle at the box office. They’re asking for Rs 20 or 30 crores. For no reason. Then you want to show a report card to them and say, that hello, this is what your film opened to. I would rather pay top dollar to members of the technical crew, who actually make the film special.”
