Aamir Khan Opens Up: ‘Father\u2019s Struggles Made Me Fear Producing Films’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\nWhy Aamir prefers being independent
<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The superstar went on to say that he has always preferred being independent. He didn\u2019t like producers covering personal costs like paying his driver or staff, joking that by that logic they might as well pay for his child\u2019s school too. According to him, a producer should only spend on what the film actually needs\u2014like the makeup artist, hairdresser, or costume team\u2014not on people working directly for the actor.He also called today\u2019s trends \u201cdangerous for the industry.\u201d He said he\u2019s shocked that producers now cover costs like an actor\u2019s driver, helper, even personal cooks. Some stars even bring separate vans for cooking or gym, all paid for by the producer. Aamir argued that if actors are earning in crores, they should pay for their own staff. For him, being a true team player means not adding extra burden to the film.<\/p>\nWhat producers should really pay for
<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Aamir also explained that producers should only cover expenses linked to the film, like training needed for a role. For example, during his wrestling film, the producer paid for the training. But he said it\u2019s unreasonable to expect them to pay for personal luxuries like a cook. According to him, if an actor can afford such things, they should pay from their own pocket instead of passing the cost to the producer.Khan shared his own example, saying that whenever he takes his family along for outdoor shoots, he covers the expenses himself and never asks the producer to pay. He added that many stars today misuse their position and put extra costs on producers, which he finds unfair and disappointing.<\/div>\n
