Actor Vikram Kapadia opened out about his opinions of two of Bollywood’s largest production companies, Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Using their brand name as leverage, he accused them of underpaying performers. In an interview with Bollywood Now, Kapadia, who has contributed to high-profile films including Yodha, Made in Heaven, The Night Manager, and The Archies, talked candidly about his experiences working with big production companies.
Speaking About Underpayment Despite Well-Known Names, Vikram Kapadia
While Dharma Productions and YRF are renowned for their opulence and high-budget productions, Kapadia pointed out that they frequently pay performers less, saying it gives them a “break.” “Yash Raj and Dharma have this ego that we are Yash Raj and Dharma, so we will pay you a little less, but you should be happy because we are paying you,” he said, expressing his displeasure with this approach. They probably do that to everyone. Actors are worried about this. Although the remuneration is smaller, Kapadia admitted that these production companies pay on schedule.”Yash Raj gave me a good salary as a writer, but people still think that ‘we are Yash Raj.'” “They are giving you a break so that the value may be a little less, but they never delay payments,” he continued. “You are getting a role.”
Updates at Dharma Productions Lately
The remarks follow a significant event at Dharma Productions, wherein Serum Institute’s Aadar Poonawala purchased a 50% share in the business. When Karan Johar and Poonawala appeared together at Manish Malhotra’s Diwali celebration earlier this week, the ₹1000 crore investment was openly recognized and marked the beginning of a new chapter for the production company.
