Rising actors’ costs are a major concern in Bollywood right now. Anurag Kashyap, an ace filmmaker who has given several hit films, spoke about big-budget movies failing at the box office, blaming the high demands of actors. Kashyap shared that while on the set of Sacred Games, he noticed a lot of Vanity vans for the films.

In a conversation with Humans of Cinema, Kashyap shared, “I had never seen so many vanity vans on my set like I saw on Sacred Games... That’s how the culture got started. Then you can’t reverse that. Finally, those people started getting paid who were totally ignored, which is the technical crew… It’s fair, in a way. But a lot of extra things started coming in.”
