Karan Johar reacts to 100% fee hike in Bollywood, asks 'why am I paying THIS actor Rs 15 crore?

In a recent interview, Karan Johar reacted to the news of several actors hiking their fees during the pandemic times and said that it was a dangerous trend. He also revealed that it isn't a 10-20 per cent hike, but close to 100 per cent in some cases.

The pandemic has been a difficult time for the movie industry - especially for distributors - who have lost a substantial amount of money because films did not release in theatres. Several daily wage workers within the industry have also lost jobs since film shooting was halted for nearly 18 months. At a time like this, several actors have hiked their fees, and Karan Johar identifies this as a dangerous trend. He also adds that there hasn't been a 10-20 per cent hike, but in some cases, nearly 100 per cent. Karan Johar is ‘fed up’ with the constant increase in actors’ fees, a trend he's especially spotted among the younger generation of actors.
