Veteran actor Jackie Shroff has shared a bold take on one of Bollywood’s open secrets — the skyrocketing costs of celebrity entourages. Speaking candidly in a recent interview, the star said that producers should do their homework before signing actors with extravagant demands.
“If you know a star is coming with a whole battalion, then why cry later? Baad mein kyu rota hai?”
Jackie’s straight-shooting comments sparked discussions about the behind-the-scenes economics of film production.
💰 The Hidden Costs of Stardom
Top actors often travel with personal stylists, managers, makeup artists, bodyguards, and assistants — all of which are billed to the production.

“Yeh toh pehle se maloom hota hai. If you can't afford the cost, maybe don’t sign them.”

While not naming any individual, Jackie’s statement is being seen as a wake-up call to filmmakers to manage budgets wisely and not get carried away by star power alone.
