Producer KC Bokadia spoke against actors who demand excessive entourage costs, criticising those who expect producers to bear their expenses. Bokadia said, "Amitabh was the first person in the industry whose spot boy, make-up man, driver…He wouldn't take any money." He added, "[Actors] ask for ₹10,000 for an assistant who should be getting ₹1,000…You think we're fools?"
