Priyadarshan slams Bollywood entourage culture
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Priyadarshan revealed he particularly dislikes the industry's entourage culture. “I only get exhausted seeing the people around actors. On a floor, if I am working with three actors, I will see thirty people who are doing nothing and just standing around. I cannot see my visuals through the camera. They are blocking my view,” he said, adding he has never seen this in any other industry than Bollywood.
The National Award-winning director also said that many people come onto the set and do nothing but make money, which exhausts him. He hates it. This is the only thing he dislikes about Bollywood.
Recently, Taapsee Pannu, while speaking to Bollywood Hungama, slammed producers who were complaining about stars' high remuneration and their entourage in interviews.
She admitted that some actors do have huge entourages, but producers who are giving interviews are the same who are giving work to those stars “These actors are called delusional for demanding so much in this economy, but then these producers are only giving them this. Either you change it or don’t complain about it. From the outside, what do I believe, what they are saying in interviews or what they are doing in real life?,” she added.
On the work front, Priyadarshan's upcoming release is Bhooth Bangla. He also has Haiwaan and Hera Pheri 3 in the pipeline.
