‘Stars Must Look At Their Salaries!’

‘Every
actor
has
to
really
look
within,
because
a
lot
of
them
are
not
in
touch
with
reality.’

The
trailer
for

Kill
—
which
has
been
called
Producer
Karan
Johar’s
most
violent
film
—
was
unveiled
in
Mumbai
on
Wednesday,
June
12,
2024.

The
trailer
begins
with
Lakshya
proposing
to
his
girlfriend
Tanya
Maniktala
on
a
train.
Their
romantic
journey
soon
turns
into
a
nightmare
when
goons
attack
the
train.

Lakshya
then
unleashes
a
bloodbath
to
protect
his
love.

Directed

Nagesh
Bhat,

Kill
premiered
at
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
last
year
and

release
in
theatres
on

Lakshya,
who
was
initially
slated
to
debut
in
the
shelved
romantic
comedy

Dostana
2,
made
his
acting
debut
on
television.
In
this
video,
he
speaks
about
his
journey
to
the
big
screen:

Raghav
Juyal,
who
plays
the
antagonist
in

Kill,
says
he
gets
bored
doing
the
same
thing
which
is
why
he
tries
to
do
new
things
all
the
time.

The
lacklustre
performance
of
many
big
Hindi
movies
in
recent
months
has
led
to
a
debate
around
big
star
remuneration,
which
includes
the
cost
of
their
accompanying
entourage.

“The
remuneration
of
the
actors
has
to
be
looked
at
again.
It’s
very
critical
for
all
the
actors
to
understand
exactly
how
the
times
are,
how
the
climate
of
our
movies
are,
and
how
difficult
it
is
to
maneuver
through
making
a
massive
motion
picture
or
a
motion
picture
of
any
magnitude
and
size,”
Karan
told
the
media
at
the
trailer
launch.

“Every
single
movie
star
has
to
review
what
they
are
asking
for
because
many
a
times
there
will
be
certain
producers
who
will
pay
that
money
because
they
want
to
make
that
film,
but
it
will
eventually
cause
a
lot
of
damage
to
the
entire
system
and
the
ecosystem,”
he
added.

According
to
Johar,
the
entourage
of
the
actors
is
not
a
big
issue
even
though
it
does
add
to
the
overall
cost
of
making
a
movie.

“The
real
issue
is
the
cost.
So
they
have
to
look
at
that
and
say
that
there
can
be
back
end
deals
or
there
can
be
percentages
of
profit…
all
that
is
possible,”
Karan
said.

“But
every
actor
has
to
really
look
within,
because
a
lot
of
them
are
not
really
in
touch
with
reality.”

Karan
speak
about
Star
Salaries:

Kangana
Ranaut,
the
newly
elected
Lok
Sabha
MP
from
Mandi,
was
slapped
by
a
CISF
lady
constable
at
Chandigarh
airport
last
week.

When
a
reporter
asked
Karan
—
who
Kangana
has
dissed
several
times
earlier
—
about
the
incident
at
the

launch,
