In an interview, the director stated that he has no financial issues with the entourages but an ethical one. KJo stated that they have a set <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/budget\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">budget<\/a> for such needs of the actor. Here&#8217;s what he shared in a recent interview.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Karan Johar&#8217;s take on the rising cost of actors&#8217; entourages<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Komal Nahta, Karan Johar shared, &#8220;I have an ethical problem with entourages, not a financial one.&#8221; He stated that his production house has a set budget for all such needs of the actor. However, according to KJo, if any star wants anything beyond the set cost, &#8220;be it a personal trainer or specific dietary requirements, they should cover the cost themselves.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"k7lcu\">\n<p>Karan Johar&#8217;s Joke On Farah Khan&#8217;s Cook Dilip Steals Spotlight At &#8216;Homebound&#8217; Premiere<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Johar shared that he will be paying for the things that are essential for the movie. He said, &#8220;Like in a sports drama requiring a certain physique.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>In the same interview, Karan shared why producers should be paying the costs of an actor who wants to maintain his appearance. As per the filmmaker, it&#8217;s part of their job as an artist.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He said, &#8220;You\u2019re an actor, it\u2019s your job to look good. So why should the producer pay for your trainer or your healthy food?&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The host asked Karan that while many producers are talking about the issue, are they taking any steps to address it? To which he said, &#8220;The producers are not united. We often discuss these matters, but no one follows through.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Karan Johar slams actors and asks them to &#8216;show some grace&#8217;<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>But he acknowledged that they are capping the budget for hair and makeup for the actors. KJo shared that as a producer, he and his team upfrontly tell the actor what they can offer, and if the latter wants anything extra, &#8220;please handle it yourself.&#8221; He said, &#8220;And now, many actors are doing just that, which I respect.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>At the end of the topic, the producer slammed the actors who make such demands even after getting paid a massive amount. He said, &#8220;Show some grace. It\u2019s strange to me when these small issues become points of contention. I don\u2019t understand why some actors travel with eight people in their entourage.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Meanwhile, Karan Johar is not the first filmmaker who has come out in open and talked about this issue.
